Duty holders and landlords in Coldblow
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

Coldblow questions
Do you work near Bexley station?
Yes. Bexley station is about 0.6 miles west of Coldblow, and we cover both.
Could my house in Coldblow contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.

There’s no fixed price: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Can you quote from photos?
