Medway: your questions answered

Is asbestos dangerous?

Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.

Can I just skim over it?

It’s an option for an intact coating: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.

Can asbestos go in my bin?

No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.

What’s the difference between a test and a survey?

A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.

Is damaged asbestos an emergency?

First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.

Can you help with a flat?

Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.

Should all asbestos be removed?

Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
