Landlords, managing agents and employers
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.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Fickleshole must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Typical removal jobs in Fickleshole
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Garage roof sheets
- Loft water tanks
- Finds during refurbishment
- Debris left from a previous job
In a school like Fairchildes Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.

Helpful guides
Common questions in Fickleshole
Could my house in Fickleshole contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Fickleshole can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Fickleshole from London?
We cover Fickleshole, about 13 miles from central London.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
