For landlords, agents and businesses
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in St Mary Hoo, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
FAQs for St Mary Hoo
Do you cover small places like St Mary Hoo?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in St Mary Hoo contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can I stay at home during removal?
For outdoor jobs, you can generally stay put. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Do you test before removing asbestos in St Mary Hoo?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
