Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you manage or own a block in Primrose Hill, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
FAQs for Primrose Hill
Do older homes in Primrose Hill have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Primrose Hill can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in Primrose Hill despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.

Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
