Aldingbourne questions
How far is Aldingbourne from London?
We cover Aldingbourne, about 52 miles from central London.
Do textured ceilings in Aldingbourne homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Weighing up your options
A low price may mean shortcuts, which releases fibres. Ask how the coating will be removed and where the waste goes. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
