FAQs for TW11
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both are options: the right choice depends on the room. We will advise room by room.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.

- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
