Common questions in Anthill Common
Do you work near Portchester station?
Yes. Portchester station is about 4.6 miles south of Anthill Common, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Anthill Common have asbestos?
Any home in Anthill Common built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can I just skim over it?
It’s an option for an intact coating: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
