Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you manage or own a block in Forton, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Asbestos removal for Forton properties
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. Typical materials include textured coatings, gutters and downpipes and floor tiles, and typical jobs are floor tiles before a new floor and old cold water tanks.
Homes in Forton with bigger gardens may have several outbuildings with cement roofs, which can often be dealt with together. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Looking after things afterwards
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, as the method may need to change.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
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.
A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Forton
Do you cover Forton and the area around Portsmouth Harbour station?
Yes, we cover Forton and the area towards Portsmouth Harbour station, about 1.5 miles east.
Do you cover Forton from London?
Forton is about 66 miles from central London, well within our area.
Does someone need to be there?

What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
