Bishop's Sutton: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Bishop's Sutton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Bishop's Sutton contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Bishop's Sutton may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How much does Artex removal cost in Bishop's Sutton?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
What happens next
After removal, the room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork.
A few practical points:
- Test every different coating
- Give us room sizes
- Send photos of the coatings
- File the test result and waste note
Things not to do
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
