Clayhall: your questions answered
Do you cover Clayhall and the area around Portsmouth Harbour station?
Yes, we cover Clayhall and the area towards Portsmouth Harbour station, about 1.4 miles north-east.
Could my house in Clayhall contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Clayhall may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
For businesses and landlords in Clayhall
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
