For businesses and landlords in Hollington
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
For managing agents and freeholders in Hollington, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork.
Some practical advice:
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Send photos of the coatings
- Keep pets away
Avoid these
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
What’s included, and what is not
To be clear about the scope:
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Patched or painted coatings
- Artex ceilings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Textured walls
- Coated plasterboard
Prices and what affects them
These are the main things that affect the price of Artex removal:
- The category of work
- Waste quantity and disposal
- How many samples are needed
- What the material is and its state
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Photos that help
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- An overall view
- Cracks or breaks
- Visible markings
- The parking area
