Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, 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.
Burcot questions
Is asbestos common in Burcot homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Burcot may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Burcot?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Your options compared
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Afterwards
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, as the method may need to change.
Some practical advice:
- Let us know where we can park
- File the consignment note
- Share any survey or test results
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
