For businesses and landlords in Castle Town
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Step by step
We soften the coating and take it off by hand, never sanded or scraped dry. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away.
- Let us know which rooms have textured coatings
- We sample each different coating for testing
- We go through the options and send a quote
- We seal off each room and remove the coating wet, or take the boards down whole
- The room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
Getting ready
- Ensure we can get to the area
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive

What affects the price in Castle Town
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Licensed or non-licensed
- How easy it is to reach
- The quantity or area
Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
