If you run a business from older premises in Wilsley Pound, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
FAQs for Wilsley Pound
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Could my house in Wilsley Pound contain asbestos?
If your home in Wilsley Pound was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do you cover Wilsley Pound?
Yes, Wilsley Pound is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
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. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Choosing the right option
Removal first, then the new roof, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
