Questions from Hyde
Do you come out to small villages like Hyde?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Hyde homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can I stay at home while you work?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can I just skim over it?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but don’t sand it first, and record that it’s there.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
How it works
If we are taking the boards down instead, they’re removed whole where possible and bagged or wrapped. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- We sample the coating first
- We plan the method and quote
- We seal the room and remove the coating with wet methods
- We clean up and dispose of the waste legally
Before we arrive
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Let us know where we can park
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
