For businesses and landlords in Golden Green
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Materials we deal with
Patched areas
We may sample patches separately.
Textured walls
Walls are treated like ceilings.
DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
What it costs
What changes the cost:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Material and condition
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The quantity or area
Every quote says whether VAT is included.
Sending photos
What to photograph:
- Cracks or breaks
- The parking area
- Visible markings
- A rough size or measurement
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you are planning. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
How it works
On the day, we seal off the room and protect floors and fittings, and keep the coating damp as we work. We will tell you when we’ve finished and what you’ll receive afterwards.
- Describe the rooms and coatings
- We sample the coating first
- We plan the method and quote
- The room is sealed off and the coating removed wet, never sanded or dry-scraped
- We clean up and dispose of the waste legally
Getting ready

Looking after things afterwards
File the result and the paperwork.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:

Don’ts
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.

FAQs for Golden Green
Is the Artex in my Golden Green home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you work near Beltring station?
Yes. Beltring station is about 2.6 miles east of Golden Green, and we cover both.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
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.
