Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.

Your options compared
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Why choose us
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing

Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Can asbestos go in my bin?

Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.

Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Each different coating needs testing
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
Don’ts
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Typical Artex jobs in Norton Ash
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so testing is the only way to know.
In older properties, we often see:
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Textured walls before a refit
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
For a school such as Teynham Parochial Church of England Primary School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings.
