What else we do in Caring
Duty holders and landlords in Caring
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.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
After the job
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is typically a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
Once we’re done:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
What to avoid
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Caring
Do you cover Caring from London?
We cover Caring, about 34 miles from central London.
Do you cover Caring and the area around Bearsted station?
Yes. Bearsted station is about 1.5 miles north-west of Caring, and we cover both.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Caring?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
