NEW DURABRIC runs the "The Cladding Advisory Service"
(bus
reg no: b1731645n) which is a totally FREE service
for over the phone advice. We
can help you with determining whether your
current Brick Cladding has asbestos, if it
can have any repair work done to it and the
like.
If we are unable to tell by simply looking
at your brickwork if asbestos is present, we
can for a fee have it clinically tested from
which you will receive a certificate stating
the presence or not.
This can be very important information if
you are attempting to buy or sell a house.
E.g. a house that DOES NOT have
asbestos present may still have potential
buyers thinking it may and thus limiting the
sales opportunity. A certificate from an
authorised Victorian testing laboratory
could be the difference between a sale or
not.
Similarly for those wanting to purchase a
house with brick cladding - especially those
buying the house for proposed alteration /
demolition or re-cladding, it is also vital
information as asbestos removal is costly
and may need to be factored into any
purchase price.
It is a safe bet to assume that any brick
cladding that was installed prior to 1983
will more than likely contain asbestos. It
is very important to note that only licensed
operators can remove anything containing
asbestos.
THE CLADDING
ADVISORY SERVICE can also assist
you with Vinyl Cladding questions.
