Questions from Ashton Green
Do you come out to small villages like Ashton Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos common in Ashton Green homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Ashton Green can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
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.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you are about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us your plans and we’ll advise.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
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.
What happens
On the day, the surveyor walks through the areas in scope, checks every suspect material and takes small samples, with each sample point damped and sealed afterwards. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.

What we do and don’t cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
Common materials
- Pipe lagging
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Artex and textured coatings
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. Work on it is licensed.
Typical surveys in Ashton Green
Asbestos went into roofing, boards, coatings, tiles, insulation and more, so they can turn up almost anywhere in an older building, which is why surveys are systematic.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Demolition and strip-out
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Planned refurbishment work
Leisure centres, halls and other public buildings around Ashton Green are non-domestic premises, where the duty to manage asbestos applies.
