Bakers Arms questions
Is asbestos common in Bakers Arms homes?
Any home in Bakers Arms built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Bakers Arms and the area around Leyton Midland Road station?
Yes, we cover Bakers Arms and the area towards Leyton Midland Road station, about 0.5 miles south-east.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
After the job
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
To avoid problems in future:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Book the replacement before removal
- File the consignment note
- Tell us about parking and access
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
