Common questions in Lower Burgate
Is asbestos common in Lower Burgate homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Lower Burgate may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Lower Burgate?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do you cover Lower Burgate?
Yes, we do: our area includes Lower Burgate and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
What it might be made of
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with power tools.
What happens next
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, because the plan may need to change.
To avoid problems in future:
- File the consignment note
- Share any survey or test results
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Keep children and pets away on the day
What to avoid
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
