Enfield Island Village questions
Is asbestos common in Enfield Island Village homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Enfield Island Village can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Enfield Lock station?
Yes. Enfield Lock station is about 0.6 miles west of Enfield Island Village, and we cover both.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
It doesn’t always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
A closer look at the materials
Water tanks and flues
A Gas Safe engineer disconnects any gas appliance first.
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
After the job
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, for anyone working there later.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Tell us about any previous survey
- File the consignment note
Don’ts
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
What affects the price in Enfield Island Village
We base our quote on:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Access to the area
- How much there is
- The type of material and its condition
Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Cracks or breaks
- Approximate dimensions
- Where we could park
- A close-up from a safe distance
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Doing 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.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
What we do and do not cover
So you know what to expect:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
