Duty holders and landlords in Budlett's Common
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.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.

Why people call us in Budlett's Common

Questions to ask before booking
- VAT, clearly stated
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- What is not included
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
After the job
File the waste paperwork safely: it proves legal disposal.
Once we’re done:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Share any survey or test results
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with power tools.
How it works
We start by setting up and segregating the work area, then keep the material damp throughout. When we are done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows. Outdoor removal in Budlett's Common is planned to finish in daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:15pm.
