Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Quarrendon Estate must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
How it works
We soften the coating and take it off by hand, never sanded or scraped dry. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we’ll do before we start.
- Describe the rooms and coatings
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
- We seal the room and remove the coating with wet methods
- We clean up and dispose of the waste legally
Before we arrive
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
After the job
The surface is left ready for making good.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Give us room sizes
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Send photos of the coatings
- Empty the rooms in advance
Things not to do
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating.

Quarrendon Estate questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do older homes in Quarrendon Estate have asbestos?
Any home in Quarrendon Estate built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: many coatings are asbestos-free. A sample test tells you which you have.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
Normally you can use other rooms: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
It’s an option for an intact coating: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Don’t sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
