Questions from Great Burgh
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Could my house in Great Burgh contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Great Burgh can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
