Bletchley and Fenny Stratford: your questions answered
Do older homes in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do textured ceilings in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Your options compared
DIY removal products are sold for textured coatings, but if it contains asbestos, the job needs proper controls. Always test first. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
