Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Plashet: your questions answered
Could my house in Plashet contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Plashet may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you work in Plashet with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Plashet
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Garage roof sheets
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Textured coatings
In older properties in Plashet, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Questions to ask before booking
- How fibres will be kept down
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- What paperwork you get
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
What happens next
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.
To avoid problems in future:
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- File the consignment note
- Let us know where we can park
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
Don’ts
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Materials we deal with
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
