For managing agents and freeholders in Hartley, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.

Hartley questions
My garage in Hartley has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover small places like Hartley?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Do not pressure-wash it first.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do you cover Hartley?
Yes, Hartley is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
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 I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
How it works
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then take the waste away. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and use controls to keep dust down. We plan garage roof jobs in Hartley for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:15pm.
