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.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Your questions about Artex removal in Cowesfield Gate
Do you cover small places like Cowesfield Gate?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos common in Cowesfield Gate homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Cowesfield Gate may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
