Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
The process
Unexpected materials mean we pause and discuss, rather than carrying on regardless. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions. In winter, the light goes in Kingston Gorse by about 4:00pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
- Tell us what needs removing and send photos
- If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
- We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
- On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
- We clean up, dispose of the waste legally and send the consignment note
Before we arrive
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Keep the area clear of children and pets

DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
