FAQs for Shottermill
Do textured ceilings in Shottermill homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do you work in Shottermill?
Yes, Shottermill is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
Is my textured ceiling in Shottermill asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. A test will tell you.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
