Common questions in Medstead
How far is Medstead from London?
Medstead is about 49 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Medstead have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Medstead can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
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.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, generally tightly bound.
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
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.
Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
