- Materials found mid-project

- Cement flues and gutters

- Suitable insurance for the work
- The documents you will receive
- Which laboratory analyses samples
Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Helpful guides
Your questions about asbestos removal in Hareplain
Is asbestos common in Hareplain homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Hareplain can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Hareplain?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
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. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
What does removal cost?
There is no fixed price: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
