Your questions about asbestos removal in Burwash Weald
Is asbestos common in Burwash Weald homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Burwash Weald may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
