FAQs for Wivelrod
Do you come out to small villages like Wivelrod?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is the Artex in my Wivelrod home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
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.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Is my textured ceiling in Wivelrod asbestos?
Not necessarily: many coatings are asbestos-free. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Duty holders and landlords in Wivelrod
If your business premises in Wivelrod were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
What it might be made of
Ceiling roses and cornices
They’re included in the test if they’re coated.
Coated plasterboard
Coatings are applied over plasterboard or plaster. Removing the boards can be an option.
