For businesses and landlords in Avery Hill
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
DIY and asbestos
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.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

Avery Hill questions
Is asbestos common in Avery Hill homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Avery Hill can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Avery Hill despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
Typically you can use other rooms: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
