FAQs for Bandonhill
Do you cover Bandonhill and the area around Waddon station?
Yes. Waddon station is about 0.7 miles east of Bandonhill, and we cover both.
Can you work in Bandonhill with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
For managing agents and freeholders in Bandonhill, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
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.
