Artex removal for Nash properties
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. Typical materials include coated ceiling roses, swirl patterns and Artex ceilings, and typical jobs are coatings damaged by leaks and loft conversions and extensions.
Ceilings in Nash conversions can have more than one coating, so we test each coating. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Nash, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Where asbestos turns up
People used Artex to cover cracks and uneven ceilings, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Loft conversions
- Ceilings before downlights go in
For a school such as Wickham Common Primary School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work

Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.

Nash questions
Do you work near Hayes (Kent) station?
Yes. Hayes (Kent) station is about 1.4 miles north of Nash, and we cover both.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
