FAQs for Hurtmore
Are garage roofs in Hurtmore usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Is asbestos common in Hurtmore homes?
Any home in Hurtmore built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
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.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
