Common questions in Chidham
Could my house in Chidham contain asbestos?
If your home in Chidham was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Chidham from London?
Chidham is about 57 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Often it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
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 asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are typically non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can usually stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
