What else we do in East Hendred
Duty holders and landlords in East Hendred
If your business premises in East Hendred were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Where asbestos turns up
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights releases fibres.
In older properties, we often see:
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Loft conversions
Older homes across East Hendred may have coatings added during past renovations.

- Reports and results you can share
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Across London and the South East
Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

East Hendred questions
Do you cover small places like East Hendred?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover East Hendred from London?
We cover East Hendred, about 54 miles from central London.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
