Hertfordshire, Essex and asbestos

Both Hertfordshire and Essex benefited from the boom in building in the 1950s and 1960s. That's shown in Essex by new towns like Harlow and Basildon. It's shown in both Essex and Herts by the activity of local and national government, building large numbers of council houses and new public buildings like schools, libraries and hospitals. It's also shown by the number of commercial buildings which date from that era, such as offices, shops and factories.

Unfortunately that era is also the time when the use of asbestos was at its peak. Its value as a building material was well understood: it is cheap, long lasting and fireproof. Its risks to health, of causing long-term, life changing illnesses were not understood. That's why it's important that Herts and Essex have access to top quality asbestos surveys.

Asbestos surveys across Essex

Global carry out asbestos surveys throughout Essex for commercial premises, public buildings, industrial sites and residential properties. Whether you are responsible for a warehouse in Harlow, an office in Chelmsford, a school in Colchester or a retail unit in Basildon, they can provide the appropriate asbestos survey before maintenance, refurbishment or demolition work begins.

Essex contains thousands of buildings constructed between the 1950s and the late 1990s, when asbestos-containing materials were widely used in walls, ceilings, pipe insulation, floor tiles, roofing products and textured coatings. An asbestos survey identifies these materials so they can be managed safely, helping property owners comply with their legal responsibilities while protecting contractors, employees and visitors.

Their survey reports clearly identify the location, condition and extent of any suspected asbestos-containing materials, together with practical recommendations for ongoing management or safe removal where required.

Asbestos surveys throughout Hertfordshire

Global also provide asbestos surveys across Hertfordshire, including Hertford, Stevenage, Watford, St Albans, Hemel Hempstead, Welwyn Garden City, Hitchin, Bishop's Stortford and the surrounding areas. Their clients include commercial property owners, facilities managers, schools, healthcare providers, housing associations, developers and private homeowners.

Many offices, factories, schools and public buildings across Hertfordshire were constructed during the decades when asbestos products were routinely specified. Before refurbishment, extension or demolition work starts, it is essential to establish whether asbestos is present so that work can be planned safely and in accordance with current regulations.

Their experienced surveyors provide clear, straightforward advice, helping clients understand exactly what has been found, whether immediate action is required and what the most appropriate next steps should be.

Fulfilling your duty

If you are a building owner, or have responsibility for the maintenance of a non-domestic building, then you are probably the duty holder for that building. That means you are responsible for ensuring that people using the building are not exposed to the risks associated with asbestos. Any building built or modified before 2000 may contain asbestos. The first step in managing that risk is often an asbestos survey.

Scented Candles

Scented Candle Manufacturer Stoneglow Candles have been creating high-quality scented candles since 1991. They specialise in the design, manufacture and packaging of handmade scented candles for retailers, gift brands and private-label customers.

Stoneglow offers a wide range of products, which combine innovation and high quality. Their core ranges are updated twice yearly. They sell products under their own brand name, including through an online store, and also act as a candle manufacturer, developing candles for other companies to sell under their brands.

Private-label candle manufacturers

Private-label scented candles allow businesses to offer a unique product range without the expense and complexity of establishing their own manufacturing facilities. Retailers, gift companies, hotels, spas, garden centres and lifestyle brands can create candles that reflect their own identity, complete with custom fragrances, packaging, labels and branding.

A bespoke candle range can be tailored to suit a specific market, customer demographic or promotional campaign. Businesses can select fragrances that complement their brand values, represent a particular location or support seasonal marketing activities. Packaging and labelling can be designed to match existing products, helping to create a consistent and professional brand image.

Private-label candles can also provide an additional source of revenue. Their popularity as gifts and home fragrance products makes them attractive additions to many retail ranges. Hotels and spas often develop signature fragrances to enhance the customer experience and strengthen brand recognition, while retailers can offer exclusive products that are unavailable elsewhere.

Working with an experienced candle manufacturer gives businesses access to expert guidance on fragrance selection, wax types, container options, packaging design and current consumer trends. This enables companies to bring high-quality products to market quickly and cost-effectively, without the investment and risks associated with in-house production.

Whether you require a small promotional run or a large-scale retail product range, bespoke and private-label scented candles provide a flexible and effective way to expand your product offering, strengthen your brand and create products that customers will remember.

Stoneglow applies exactly the same skill, experience, design flair and care to their private label candle manufacturing as to their own-brand candles. They work for some of the best known high street brands and luxury brands in the UK.
