Helpful guides
Questions from Twitham
Do you cover small places like Twitham?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do older homes in Twitham have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Which option is right?
What kind of work is it? It depends on what the material is and what’s being done. Our guide explains the difference, with links to HSE’s pages. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

For businesses and landlords in Twitham
For managing agents and freeholders in Twitham, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Afterwards
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Let us know where we can park
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
Avoid these
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and doesn’t cover:
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with

- Garage and shed roofs
- Flue pipes

Can I do it myself?
