For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Woburn Sands
Many electricians and plasterers ask for a test result before working on textured ceilings.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Coatings already disturbed
Older homes across Woburn Sands may have coatings added during past renovations.
Before you book anyone
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Any exclusions
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed

Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Questions from Woburn Sands
Do you cover Woburn Sands from London?
We cover Woburn Sands, about 43 miles from central London.
Is the Artex in my Woburn Sands home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
