After we’ve finished:

Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

For landlords, agents and businesses

If you run a business from older premises in Chartridge, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Chartridge questions
Do you cover small places like Chartridge?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do older homes in Chartridge have asbestos?
If your home in Chartridge was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
