Awbridge: your questions answered
Could my house in Awbridge contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Awbridge?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are usually non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It doesn’t 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.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.

What happens next
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Book the replacement before removal

- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Photos of the material and the route in help
What to avoid
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.

Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
