Responsibilities for owners
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.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Wood's Corner, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Your questions about Artex removal in Wood's Corner
Do you cover small places like Wood's Corner?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Wood's Corner and the area around Stonegate station?
Yes. Stonegate station is about 5 miles north of Wood's Corner, and we cover both.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Usually not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.

What we deal with in Wood's Corner
Many trades want a test result first.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Ceilings coming down
If your home is one of the older properties in Wood's Corner, near The Parish Church of St Giles or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
