Salfords: your questions answered
Could my house in Salfords contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Salfords can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Salfords and the area around Salfords station?
Yes. Salfords station is close to the centre of Salfords, and we cover the whole area.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
