For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in New Hinksey must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
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.
After we’ve finished in New Hinksey
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, so future work is planned properly.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Send photos of the coatings
Don’ts
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
Choosing the right option
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Each has pros and cons, depending on the room. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
What you get
- No removal until we know what it is

New Hinksey questions
Do you cover New Hinksey and the area around Oxford station?
Yes, we cover New Hinksey and the area towards Oxford station, about 1.3 miles north-west.
Do older homes in New Hinksey have asbestos?
If your home in New Hinksey 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.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
