Duty holders and landlords in Woodmansterne
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used

Questions from Woodmansterne
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do older homes in Woodmansterne have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Woodmansterne can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will advise for each room.
Do you cover Woodmansterne?
Yes, Woodmansterne is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can I just skim over it?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but don’t sand it first, and record that it’s there.
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Parking and access charges
- The survey scope
- How much there is
- What the material is and its state
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Photos that help
Photo tips:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Approximate dimensions
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
For a quote, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
How we work
On the day, we seal off the room and protect floors and fittings, and keep the coating damp as we work. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces
- We sample each coating
- We plan the removal and send a quote
- We seal off the room and remove the coating wet
- The room is cleaned and you get the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Let us know if something’s broken

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Woodmansterne
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Coatings already disturbed
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
In older homes in Woodmansterne, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.

Can I do it myself?

Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

A low price may mean shortcuts. Ask how the coating will be removed and where the waste goes. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
