Duty holders and landlords in Parkhurst
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Parkhurst, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Which option is right?
Licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed? It depends on what the material is and what’s being done. See our guide to the three categories. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Why choose us
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Reports and results you can share
- No removal until we know what it is
Limits to be aware of
To be clear about the scope:

Why people call us in Parkhurst
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Textured coatings
- Materials found mid-project
- Old flues
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
In a school like Hunnyhill Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
What to look for in a quote
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- Which areas and materials are covered
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
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.
Questions from Parkhurst
Do you come out to small villages like Parkhurst?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos common in Parkhurst homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Parkhurst may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
