For businesses and landlords in Elmhurst
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.

Common questions in Elmhurst
Do older homes in Elmhurst have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
How do I get a quote?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Elmhurst?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
What’s included, and what is not
To be clear about the scope:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Making good is normally a separate job
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
What we deal with
- Artex and textured coatings
- Gutters and downpipes
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Bitumen roof felt
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Soffits (cement)
- Water tanks
- Flue pipes
- Garage and shed roofs
- Panels and boards
Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
