Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If your business premises in Stoke Mandeville were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Looking after things afterwards
You get a written laboratory result for each sample, showing whether asbestos was found and the type.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Ask us if you’re unsure whether you need a test or a survey
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- Clear access to the area
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
Things not to do
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris.
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and don’t try to clean it up.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Stoke Mandeville questions
Do you cover Stoke Mandeville from London?
We cover Stoke Mandeville, about 36 miles from central London.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Can you test the air for asbestos?
Air testing is a different job from material testing, and not one we do: clearance testing after licensed removal is carried out by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst. We’ll tell you if your job needs it.
When will I get the result?
Timing depends on the lab. We will give you an idea when we book.
Do you test textured ceilings?
Yes, we test textured coatings. Older coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
