Asbestos help in Overton
Overton questions
Could my house in Overton contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Overton can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Overton from London?
We cover Overton, about 53 miles from central London.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Asbestos removal in Overton
Licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We will explain what applies to your job in Overton. People often contact us about old waste on site and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles, including floor tiles, textured coatings and gutters and downpipes.
Homes in Overton with bigger gardens can have more than one cement-roofed building. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

What we deal with in Overton
Old materials break down over time: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is when removal comes up.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Artex before plastering
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Cement water tanks in lofts
In older buildings across Overton, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.

Helpful guides
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Materials we deal with
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.

Looking after things afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
Some practical advice:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Tell us about parking and access
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell us about any previous survey
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
What’s included, and what is not
To be clear about the scope:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
