FAQs for Egham Hythe
Could my house in Egham Hythe contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Egham Hythe may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Egham Hythe from London?
We cover Egham Hythe, about 19 miles from central London.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
The scope of Artex removal
The usual limits are:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
