Duty holders and landlords in Milland
If you run a business from older premises in Milland, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Milland, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Common questions in Milland
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Milland?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Could my house in Milland contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Your options compared

Helpful guides
The scope of an asbestos survey
We are upfront about what’s included:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
After we’ve finished in Milland
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
What to avoid
Be clear about the work you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
