Common questions in Wishanger Common
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do older homes in Wishanger Common have asbestos?
If your home in Wishanger Common was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Sometimes: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
After we have finished in Wishanger Common
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Send photos of the material and the access
What to avoid
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
What it might be made of
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
