Botany Bay questions
Can you work in Botany Bay with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Do older homes in Botany Bay have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
How do I get a quote?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
What affects the price in Botany Bay
What changes the cost:
- Material and condition
- The size of the job
- How easy it is to reach
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- The access route
- Street parking nearby
- A clear close-up
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you’re planning. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
