Questions from Forty Green
Is asbestos common in Forty Green homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Forty Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
