Can I do it myself?

DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Vernham Street: your questions answered

Do you cover small places like Vernham Street?

Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.

Do you cover Vernham Street from London?

Vernham Street is about 62 miles from central London, well within our area.

My builder has found asbestos. What now?

Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.

Do you need to see it before quoting?

Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.

Can I remove asbestos myself?

HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.

Do you work in flats?

We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.

How dangerous is asbestos?

It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.

A closer look at the materials

Textured coatings

Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.

Insulating board and lagging

Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.

What we do and do not cover

Some limits to bear in mind:

  • We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
  • Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is usually separate
  • Bad weather can affect outdoor removal

Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

  • A rough size or measurement

Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.

Where asbestos turns up

Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.

Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:

  • Old sheds and coal bunkers
  • Old cold water tanks
  • Old flues
  • Debris left from a previous job

In a school like Vernham Dean Gillum's Church of England Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.

Before booking anyone

  • Any exclusions
  • How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
  • How the work will be done, and the controls used
  • Whether they’re insured for asbestos work

How to choose an asbestos contractor

Landlords, managing agents and employers

If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Vernham Street, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.

Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Step by step

Our team uses disposable coveralls and respiratory protection, and keep everyone else out of the work area. It helps if we can park nearby. Late-December sunset in Vernham Street is about 4:00pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

Afterwards

If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.

Some practical advice:

  • Let neighbours know if work is near them
  • Book the replacement before removal
  • Share any survey or test results
  • Make sure pets and children are elsewhere

Don’ts

Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.

Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.

  • Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
  • Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
  • Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
  • Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
