What else we do in Holt Pound
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Holt Pound, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Afterwards
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, as the method may need to change.
Once we are done:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Book the replacement before removal
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Send photos of the material and the access
What to avoid
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Holt Pound: your questions answered
How far is Holt Pound from London?
Holt Pound is about 39 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Typical removal jobs in Holt Pound
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Old flues
- Garage roof sheets
- Debris left from a previous job
Older buildings in Holt Pound, near Saint James or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Before booking anyone
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- If the price includes VAT
- Suitable insurance for the work
