Responsibilities for owners
If your business premises in Rush Green were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Rush Green, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

How we price Artex removal
The cost depends on:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The category of work
- Disposal costs
- What the material is and its state
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Photos that help
The most useful photos are:
- Approximate dimensions
- Cracks or breaks
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form to get started.
What we deal with in Rush Green
Coatings get damaged by water leaks, cracks and DIY, which can make them crumble.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Ceilings coming down
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
For a school such as Rush Green Primary School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings.
Comparing quotes
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- VAT, clearly stated
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
