Landlords, managing agents and employers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Questions from How Green
Do you work near Hever station?
Yes, we cover How Green and the area towards Hever station, about 1.3 miles south-west.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote reflects:
- How easy it is to reach
- Parking and access charges
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Material and condition
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Visible markings
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A wide shot showing where the material is
Every job is quoted in writing. Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
What it might be made of
Water tanks and flues
A Gas Safe engineer disconnects any gas appliance first.
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
