Bucknell: your questions answered
How far is Bucknell from London?
Bucknell is about 55 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in Bucknell contain asbestos?
Any home in Bucknell built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Do you work in Bucknell?
Yes, Bucknell is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Looking after things afterwards
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Photos help us quote
- Empty the rooms in advance
What to avoid
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
What’s included, and what is not
The usual limits are:
- Plastering and making good are usually separate jobs

If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
