Questions from Aldworth
Do you cover small places like Aldworth?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Aldworth homes?
If your home in Aldworth was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor jobs do not generally affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note as your record.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Good to know
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and does not cover:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
