Questions from Mount Pleasant
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Could my house in Mount Pleasant contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Mount Pleasant can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are normally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

- Gutters and downpipes

What we deal with in Mount Pleasant
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
These come up again and again:
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Finds during refurbishment
- Asbestos garages
- Artex before plastering
In older buildings across Mount Pleasant, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.

What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:

Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.

Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
