Questions from Hale Common
Could my house in Hale Common contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do textured ceilings in Hale Common homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both are options: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll recommend one for each room.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
How can I get a price?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Duty holders and landlords in Hale Common
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Hale Common, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
If you run a business from older premises in Hale Common, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and quote
