Common reasons for removal jobs in Cross Gate
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Garage roof sheets
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Textured coatings
- Broken sheets in gardens
In a school like Amberley CofE Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
