Questions from Dunton Green
Do older homes in Dunton Green have asbestos?
If your home in Dunton Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you come out to small villages like Dunton Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, so we quote after testing.
Is my textured ceiling in Dunton Green asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings don’t contain asbestos. A test will tell you.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
