Questions from Waterside
Is asbestos common in Waterside homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Waterside may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
The scope of asbestos removal
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and does not cover:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
