Questions from Stoke
Do older homes in Stoke have asbestos?
If your home in Stoke was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Stoke from London?
Stoke is about 31 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note as your record.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
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.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Duty holders and landlords in Stoke
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Afterwards
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- File the consignment note
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Tell us about parking and access
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Don’ts
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Weighing up your options
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Where asbestos turns up
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Old cold water tanks
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Asbestos found during building work
- Textured coatings
In a school like Stoke Primary Academy, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
What to look for in a quote
- Suitable insurance for the work
- How fibres will be kept down
- Whether the job needs notifying
- If the price includes VAT
