Asbestos removal near Palmarsh
In homes, in Palmarsh as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. Typical materials include water tanks, cement soffits and gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are broken sheets in gardens and floor tiles before a new floor.
Homes in Palmarsh with bigger gardens may have several outbuildings with cement roofs, which can often be dealt with together. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Don’ts
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Which option is right?
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, rather than halting work when it’s found. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
