Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Poffley End: your questions answered
Do textured ceilings in Poffley End homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you come out to small villages like Poffley End?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
