Questions from Nately Scures
Do you cover Nately Scures from London?
We cover Nately Scures, about 42 miles from central London.
Could my house in Nately Scures contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Nately Scures can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Should I use a home testing kit?
HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person, because sampling disturbs the material. We can take it for you.
Do you do air testing?
We don’t carry out air testing ourselves: clearance testing after licensed removal is carried out by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst. Ask and we’ll explain.
Do I need more than one sample?
Generally one per material, sometimes more. We will suggest a number when we see the photos.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
