The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
About our asbestos removal in Appleton
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. People often contact us about Artex before plastering and floor tiles before a new floor, involving gutters and downpipes, cement roof sheets and cement soffits.
In a village like Appleton, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

The process
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, and keep the material wet as we work. When we are done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows. We plan outdoor jobs in Appleton to finish before dark: that means by about 3:55pm in December, or about 9:25pm in June.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- We test the material if needed
- We plan the job and send a written quote
- On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
- The area is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with paperwork

Appleton questions
Do you cover Appleton and the area around Oxford station?
Yes, we cover Appleton and the area towards Oxford station, about 5 miles north-east.
Is asbestos common in Appleton homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
What happens to the waste?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the consignment note.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What it might be made of
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
