FAQs for Ballinger Common
Do you cover small places like Ballinger Common?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos common in Ballinger Common homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can I just skim over it?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but do not sand it first, and record that it’s there.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
Do you work in Ballinger Common?
Yes, we do: our area includes Ballinger Common and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Choosing the right option
Testing first can save a lot: a clear result means normal methods. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

The ceiling or wall is left ready for your plasterer.

- Line up the plasterer for afterwards

Things not to do

Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
