Duty holders and landlords in Enham Alamein

For managing agents and freeholders in Enham Alamein, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Which option is right?
Test, leave, cover or remove? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is typically better. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Enham Alamein: your questions answered
Do textured ceilings in Enham Alamein homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you come out to small villages like Enham Alamein?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both work; it depends on the room. We’ll explain the options.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.

Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
