Helpful guides
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Wainscott, 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.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
What happens next
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Tell us about parking and access
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Don’ts
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.

FAQs for Wainscott
Could my house in Wainscott contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Wainscott can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Wainscott from London?
We cover Wainscott, about 27 miles from central London.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
What we do and don’t cover
The usual limits are:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Which option is right?
