Questions from New Yatt
Is asbestos common in New Yatt homes?
If your home in New Yatt was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover New Yatt and the area around Finstock station?
Yes, we cover New Yatt and the area towards Finstock station, about 2.7 miles north.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
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.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

Materials are released carefully and removed whole where possible, without breaking, dropping or power tools. When we’re done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows. Late-December sunset in New Yatt is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
