FAQs for Mowshurst
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Could my house in Mowshurst contain asbestos?
If your home in Mowshurst was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
Do you work in Mowshurst?
Yes, we do: our area includes Mowshurst and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Why people call us in Mowshurst
Coatings get damaged by water leaks, cracks and DIY, so they may start to flake.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Coatings already disturbed
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Landlord refurbishments
A school like Edenbridge Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start.
