Asbestos help in Pitch Green
Pitch Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Pitch Green and the area around Princes Risborough station?
Yes. Princes Risborough station is about 1.4 miles east of Pitch Green, and we cover both.
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
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.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Is my textured ceiling in Pitch Green asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many don’t. The only way to know is to test a sample.
Can I just skim over it?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but do not sand it first, and record that it’s there.
Artex removal near Pitch Green
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Whether it’s damaged or cracked coatings and landlord refurbishments, we deal with coated plasterboard, swirl patterns and coated ceiling roses and more.
Village homes like those in Pitch Green have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Typical Artex jobs in Pitch Green
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some included a little chrysotile.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Coatings already disturbed
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
In older homes in Pitch Green, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.

A closer look at the materials
Artex ceilings
A small sample from each different coating tells you whether it contains asbestos.
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, which does not change what’s underneath.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
