What else we do in Asheridge
Common questions in Asheridge
Do you come out to small villages like Asheridge?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Limits to be aware of
Before you book, note that:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Common materials
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Patched or painted coatings
- Coated plasterboard
- Textured walls
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Artex ceilings
Afterwards
Note which other rooms have coatings, so future work is planned properly.
Some practical advice:
- Test every different coating
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
Don’ts
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Materials, one by one
Artex ceilings
A small sample from each different coating tells you whether it contains asbestos.
Patched areas
Patches may be newer material.
Prices and what affects them
Our quotes take into account:
- The category of work
- What the material is and its state
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Parking and access charges
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- How we’d reach it
Every job is quoted in writing. Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page with the details.
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
