Afterwards
Keep the results with your property records, as they’re useful when you sell or carry out more work.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- Tell us if there is adhesive under tiles
- Test everything you are worried about at once
- Tell us what work you’re planning
Avoid these
Please do not take your own sample; tell us where it is and we will sample it safely.
Don’t break off a piece to test yourself.
Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
FAQs for Soldridge
Do you come out to small villages like Soldridge?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Soldridge contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Soldridge may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do I need more than one sample?
Normally one per material, with extra where the same material appears in different places. Photos help us suggest a number.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If your business premises in Soldridge were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Choosing the right option
How many samples? Each different material needs its own sample, and sometimes tiles and adhesive or coatings in different rooms need separate samples. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
