Marley: your questions answered
Do older homes in Marley have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Marley may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Marley and the area around Snowdown station?
Yes. Snowdown station is about 3.5 miles east of Marley, and we cover both.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings generally are not licensed.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do you cover Marley?
Yes, we do: our area includes Marley and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
