For businesses and landlords in St Luke's
If your business premises in St Luke's were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

How do I get a quote?

Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.

Helpful guides
Typical removal jobs in St Luke's
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
Typical jobs in St Luke's include:
- Old waste on site
- Finds during refurbishment
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Garage roof sheets
Older buildings in St Luke's, near Jewin Welsh Presbyterian Chapel or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
Questions to ask before you book
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Whether the job needs notifying

- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Waste quantity and disposal

Limits to be aware of
A few things to be aware of:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
