These come up again and again:

For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

Questions from Whitchurch Hill
Do you cover small places like Whitchurch Hill?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Whitchurch Hill and the area around Pangbourne station?
Yes, we cover Whitchurch Hill and the area towards Pangbourne station, about 1.6 miles south.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
What does removal cost?
Every job is priced individually: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Which option is right?
Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
