How asbestos removal works in RH7
Higher-risk materials such as pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, and has to be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. We’ll tell you if your job in RH7 falls into that category. People often contact us about textured coatings and garage roofs and whole garages, involving water tanks, flue pipes and cement soffits.
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, then keep the material damp throughout.

RH7: removal jobs of every size
Across RH7, we remove asbestos cement, textured coatings, tiles, flues and tanks, from the bigger towns to the smallest villages.
Lingfield: For non-domestic buildings like Lingfield Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty. In older properties in Lingfield, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan. In winter, the light goes in Lingfield by about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
Common reasons for removal jobs in RH7
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Old flues
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Asbestos garages
- Materials found mid-project
Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
For managing agents and freeholders in RH7, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Limits to be aware of
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
Which option is right?
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork.

What it might be made of
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with power tools.
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, usually tightly bound.
Questions from RH7
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
