Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Artex removal near South Wimbledon
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. We often deal with Artex ceilings, stipple finishes and swirl patterns, and typical jobs are ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights and loft conversions.
In flats and houses around South Wimbledon, textured ceilings often turn up during renovation, often painted over many times. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
