Ryde questions
Do older homes in Ryde have asbestos?
Any home in Ryde built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Ryde and the area around Ryde St Johns Road station?
Yes, we cover Ryde, including the streets around Ryde St Johns Road station.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Materials we deal with
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Afterwards
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, because the plan may need to change.
A few practical points:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Share any survey or test results
Things not to do
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
