Common questions in Toddington
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Toddington and the area around Littlehampton station?
Yes, we cover Toddington and the area towards Littlehampton station, about 1.1 miles south-west.
How much does Artex removal cost in Toddington?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, so we quote after testing.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both are options: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll advise room by room.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.

Duty holders and landlords in Toddington
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Toddington must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Older coatings are often painted over many times, so age is hard to judge.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Ceilings before skimming
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Coatings scraped during DIY
In older homes in Toddington, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.
