A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Where asbestos turns up
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
These come up again and again:
- Loft water tanks
- Textured coatings
- Old flues
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
For non-domestic buildings like Onslow Infant School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Onslow Village
How far is Onslow Village from London?
We cover Onslow Village, about 29 miles from central London.
Could my house in Onslow Village contain asbestos?
If your home in Onslow Village was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
