Landlords, managing agents and employers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
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.
Choosing the right option
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
Why choose us
- Domestic and commercial work
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note

FAQs for Plaitford Green
Do you come out to small villages like Plaitford Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Plaitford Green contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that won’t be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Materials, one by one
Water tanks and flues
A Gas Safe engineer disconnects any gas appliance first.
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- File the consignment note
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Things not to do
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
The scope of asbestos removal

- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
