Questions from Coneyhurst
Do you cover Coneyhurst and the area around Billingshurst station?
Yes, we cover Coneyhurst and the area towards Billingshurst station, about 1.2 miles north-west.
Could my house in Coneyhurst contain asbestos?
If your home in Coneyhurst was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
