Questions from Shatterling
How far is Shatterling from London?
We cover Shatterling, about 59 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like Shatterling?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What it might be made of
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The survey scope
- How much there is
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Photos that help
