DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Wanshurst Green: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Wanshurst Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Wanshurst Green and the area around Marden station?
Yes, we cover Wanshurst Green and the area towards Marden station, about 1.2 miles west.
How can I get a price?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
