Bockhanger: your questions answered
Could my house in Bockhanger contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do textured ceilings in Bockhanger homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Can I stay at home while you work?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
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.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
How do I get a quote?

For landlords, agents and businesses
