Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Golden Cross: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Golden Cross?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
My garage in Golden Cross has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
