How far is Priddy's Hard from London?
We cover Priddy's Hard, about 65 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Priddy's Hard?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What happens next
A negative result means the material can be treated as normal.
To avoid problems in future:
- Make the area easy to reach
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
- Let us know what you want to do next
What to avoid
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris.
Do not break off a piece to test yourself; tell us where it is and we will sample it safely.
