For businesses and landlords in Throwley Forstal

Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Throwley Forstal questions
Do older homes in Throwley Forstal have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Throwley Forstal may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Throwley Forstal from London?
Throwley Forstal is about 44 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before 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.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Helpful guides
Looking after things afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Give us a rough size
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- File the waste paperwork
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
What we deal with in Throwley Forstal
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Pieces of broken roof
- Garages due a new roof
- Double garages
- Block garages
Older houses in Throwley Forstal, near Church of St Michael and All Angels or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000.
