A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Winchmore Hill must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage 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.
Some practical advice:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
What affects the price in Winchmore Hill
