FAQs for Fairlee
Do you come out to small villages like Fairlee?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Fairlee homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Fairlee may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
What’s included, and what is not
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- High winds can delay roof work
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials in Fairlee
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Gutters and downpipes
- Bargeboards
- Fixings and bolts
- Roof felt
- Ridge pieces
- Cement wall panels
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you manage or own a block in Fairlee, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Looking after things afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- File the waste paperwork
What to avoid
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Keep weight off the roof.
Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
