Before you book anyone
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- What category of work it is
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Stoke Mandeville questions
Is the Artex in my Stoke Mandeville home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you work near Stoke Mandeville station?
Yes. Stoke Mandeville station is close to the centre of Stoke Mandeville, and we cover the whole area.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
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.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is my textured ceiling in Stoke Mandeville asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. A test will tell you.
For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you run a business from older premises in Stoke Mandeville, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
