FAQs for Selling
Do you cover Selling and the area around Selling station?
Yes, we cover Selling and the area towards Selling station, about 0.8 miles north-east.
Could my house in Selling contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Selling may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is my garage roof in Selling asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
