FAQs for Hartley Mauditt
Do you cover small places like Hartley Mauditt?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in Hartley Mauditt have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can I take a sample myself?
Sampling is best left to a competent person, according to HSE, as it means disturbing the material. Ask us to take it.
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.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
