Common reasons for removal jobs in Shorne Ridgeway
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Artex before plastering
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Asbestos found during building work
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
Older buildings in Shorne Ridgeway, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.
Before booking anyone
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Any exclusions
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Duty holders and landlords in Shorne Ridgeway
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
