Questions from Ash
Do textured ceilings in Ash homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you work near Ash station?
Yes, we cover Ash and the area towards Ash station, about 0.5 miles north-east.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Duty holders and landlords in Ash
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you run a business from older premises in Ash, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

- How easy it is to reach

Can I do it myself?

With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
