FAQs for Leigh
Could my house in Leigh contain asbestos?
Any home in Leigh built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you come out to small villages like Leigh?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work in Leigh?
Yes, Leigh is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.

Duty holders and landlords in Leigh
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Leigh must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
