Doing it yourself?

HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Dedworth: your questions answered

Do you work near Windsor & Eton Central station?

Yes. Windsor & Eton Central station is about 1.7 miles east of Dedworth, and we cover both.

Do you cover Dedworth from London?

Dedworth is about 24 miles from central London, well within our area.

Could my home contain asbestos?

You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.

Do I need a test or a survey?

Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.

My builder has found asbestos. What now?

Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.

Is asbestos dangerous?

It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.

When can you start?

It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.

Can you advise before I buy a property?

Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.

A closer look at the materials

Roof felt and mastics

Felt can be tested before re-roofing.

Floor tiles and adhesive

Old tiles and black adhesive can be tested separately, because results can differ.

For businesses and landlords in Dedworth

Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

If you run a business from older premises in Dedworth, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.

What happens

We use the right protective equipment and keep people away while sampling, however small the job. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you before carrying on.
