After we’ve finished in Knockholt Pound
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Share any survey or test results
Avoid these
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
What it might be made of
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, which is generally well bound.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
