Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Is asbestos common in Weavers Down homes?
Any home in Weavers Down built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can I stay at home while you work?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
Do you work in Weavers Down?
We do: our area includes Weavers Down and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
