Asbestos help in Argos Hill
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

Rural homes near Argos Hill have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Argos Hill: your questions answered
Could my house in Argos Hill contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Argos Hill may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Argos Hill from London?
Argos Hill is about 35 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
