Questions from Burgess Hill
Do you work near Burgess Hill station?
Yes. Burgess Hill station is close to the centre of Burgess Hill, and we cover the whole area.
Could my house in Burgess Hill contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Burgess Hill may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can I stay at home while you work?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Artex removal near Burgess Hill
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. Typical materials include coated ceiling roses, coated plasterboard and textured walls, and typical jobs are loft conversions and landlord refurbishments.
In a town like Burgess Hill, textured ceilings turn up in houses from the 1960s to the 1990s, though older homes may have them too. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.
