Common questions in Beaulieu
Do you work near Beaulieu Road station?
Yes. Beaulieu Road station is about 3.4 miles north-west of Beaulieu, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Beaulieu homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice.
Can you test the air for asbestos?
Air testing for clearance is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst. We will tell you whether you need it.
How long do test results take?
That depends on the laboratory. You’ll get an estimate when we quote.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
