Asbestos removal in Locksgreen
Duty holders and landlords in Locksgreen
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Asbestos removal in Locksgreen
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical jobs include cement water tanks in lofts and garage roofs and whole garages, including floor tiles, gutters and downpipes and flue pipes.
Rural removal near Locksgreen can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Questions from Locksgreen
Is asbestos common in Locksgreen homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Locksgreen?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What does removal cost?
Every job is priced individually: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you cover Locksgreen?
Yes, Locksgreen is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Locksgreen?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
