FAQs for Thorley Street
Do you cover small places like Thorley Street?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Thorley Street homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote.

Materials we deal with
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, which is generally well bound.
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Looking after things afterwards
File the waste paperwork safely: it proves legal disposal.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Share any survey or test results
- Book the replacement before removal
- Send photos of the material and the access
- File the consignment note
Things not to do
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
