Ashurst Wood: your questions answered
Could my house in Ashurst Wood contain asbestos?
Any home in Ashurst Wood built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
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.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What does removal cost?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. Every job gets a written quote.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
What it might be made of
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
