Landlords, managing agents and employers
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Questions from Seasalter
Do you cover Seasalter from London?
Seasalter is about 48 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you come out to small villages like Seasalter?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Either can work: the right choice depends on the room. We will recommend one for each room.
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.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
What we deal with in Seasalter
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, which can make them look newer than they are.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Walls before tiling
- Ceilings before plastering
- Coatings already disturbed
If your home is one of the older properties in Seasalter, near Seasalter Christian Centre or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

Afterwards
Covered coatings should be recorded.
Some practical advice:
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Give us room sizes
- Send photos of the coatings
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
Avoid these
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
The process
We start by sealing and protecting the room, and keep the coating damp as we work. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- We plan the method and quote
- We seal the room and remove the coating with wet methods
- We clean up and dispose of the waste legally
Getting ready
- Ensure we can get to the area
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Keep the area clear of children and pets

Choosing the right option
Plastering over it is an option, but never sand it first, and the asbestos stays in the building. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
