Questions from Hoaden
Do you come out to small villages like Hoaden?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work near Minster station?
Yes. Minster station is about 4 miles north-east of Hoaden, and we cover both.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Is my textured ceiling in Hoaden asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings do not contain asbestos. A test will tell you.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What it might be made of
Coated plasterboard
Coatings are applied over plasterboard or plaster. Removing the boards can be an option.
Patched areas
Patches may be newer material.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Prices and what affects them
Our quotes take into account:
- The type of material and its condition
- How much there is
- The category of work
- How easy it is to reach
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- A rough size or measurement
- Where we could park
