Duty holders and landlords in Chilworth
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
How it works
The coating is softened with water, steam or gel and removed with hand tools, with no sanding or dry scraping. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.
- 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
Before we arrive
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Move things out of the way carefully
