Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Asbestos waste can’t 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.
How we work
We start by sealing and protecting the room, and keep the coating damp as we work. The work area is kept clear while we’re working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Send photos of the textured surfaces
- We test a sample of each coating
- We talk through the options
- We carry out the removal
- The waste goes to a permitted site with a consignment note
Before we arrive
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage

Spanish Green: your questions answered
How far is Spanish Green from London?
Spanish Green is about 41 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in Spanish Green homes?
If your home in Spanish Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
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.
Do you work in Spanish Green?
We do: our area includes Spanish Green and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
