Where asbestos turns up
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Loft water tanks
- Asbestos found during building work
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Broken sheets in gardens
In a school like Ley Hill School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
Questions to ask before you book

Common questions in Botley
Do you come out to small villages like Botley?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work near Amersham station?
Yes. Amersham station is about 2.7 miles south-west of Botley, and we cover both.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do you cover Botley?
Yes, Botley is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
For businesses and landlords in Botley
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

Helpful guides
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
