FAQs for Beacon's Bottom

What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.

No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.

HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
