Common situations in older properties include:
- Soffit boards
- Something broken during building work
- Garage roofs before replacement
- Results builders ask for before work
At a school like Whiteheath Infant and Nursery School, the duty holder keeps asbestos records, which staff and parents can ask about.
Before you book anyone
- VAT, clearly stated
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Whether extra samples cost more
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
