For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Hunt's Green, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Materials, one by one
Boards and panels
Insulating board needs licensed work in most cases, so it’s worth knowing.
Flues and tanks
Old flue pipes and loft water tanks may be asbestos cement.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
How it works
We seal the sample point with a suitable sealant or tape, leaving the material safe while you wait for the result. While we work, the area stays out of bounds.
- Describe the material and send a photo
- We quote for the samples needed
- Each sample is taken carefully and sealed
- An accredited laboratory carries out the analysis
- You get the written result, and we explain what it means
Before we arrive
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
