DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Common questions in Coombe
Do you cover Coombe and the area around Little Kimble station?
Yes, we cover Coombe and the area towards Little Kimble station, about 1.3 miles west.
Do you cover Coombe from London?
We cover Coombe, about 34 miles from central London.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
What does removal cost?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. We quote each job individually.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Coombe?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The removal method depends on the material.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Duty holders and landlords in Coombe
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Coombe, 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.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Afterwards
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, because the plan may need to change.
Keeping things safe:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Share any survey or test results
What to avoid
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Which option is right?
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
