Questions from Racton
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Racton from London?
Racton is about 55 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote.
Duty holders and landlords in Racton
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
For managing agents and freeholders in Racton, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
The scope of asbestos removal
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Making good is normally a separate job
