Duty holders and landlords in Riseley
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
After the job
Covered coatings should be recorded.
Keeping things safe:
- Test every different coating
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Keep pets away
Things not to do
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Your questions about Artex removal in Riseley
Do you cover small places like Riseley?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Riseley contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
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.
