Common questions in Green Hailey
Do older homes in Green Hailey have asbestos?
If your home in Green Hailey 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.
Do you come out to small villages like Green Hailey?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Can you tell if it’s asbestos by looking?
You can’t tell by looking; a lab test is the only reliable way. We sample it and have it analysed.
