Duty holders and landlords in Brooks Green

Common questions in Brooks Green

Do you cover Brooks Green from London?

We cover Brooks Green, about 36 miles from central London.

Could my house in Brooks Green contain asbestos?

That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Brooks Green can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.

My builder has found asbestos. What now?

Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.

Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?

Sometimes: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.

How dangerous is asbestos?

Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.

Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?

Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.

Do you work on commercial premises?

We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.

Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?

Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.

  • Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
  • 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
