Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Chapel Row, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
FAQs for Chapel Row
Is asbestos common in Chapel Row homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on properties in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Looking after things afterwards
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
After we have finished:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Tell us about parking and access
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Avoid these
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.

Materials, one by one
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Where asbestos turns up
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Cement flues and gutters
- Garage roof sheets
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
Older buildings in Chapel Row, near Douai Abbey Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
