Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Duty holders and landlords in Temple Park
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Common questions in Temple Park
Do you work near Bracknell station?
Yes, we cover Temple Park and the area towards Bracknell station, about 1.2 miles south-east.
Do you cover Temple Park from London?
We cover Temple Park, about 30 miles from central London.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can you test the air for asbestos?
Clearance air testing after licensed removal must be done by an independent analyst accredited by UKAS. Ask us and we’ll explain what applies to your job.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
What happens if the test is positive?
We’ll explain your options, which depend on the material, its condition and your plans: leaving it, covering it or removing it.
Weighing up your options
Home testing kits are available, but you take the sample yourself, which means disturbing the material. HSE recommends a competent person does the sampling. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
