FAQs for Bourne End
Do you work near Bourne End station?
Yes, we cover Bourne End, including the streets around Bourne End station.
Do textured ceilings in Bourne End homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
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.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.

Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
