FAQs for Cubitt Town
Is asbestos common in Cubitt Town homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Canary Wharf station?
Yes, we cover Cubitt Town and the area towards Canary Wharf station, about 0.8 miles north-west.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote once we know what it contains.
Can I stay at home while you work?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If your business premises in Cubitt Town were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

The cost depends on:
- How easy it is to reach
