Horton-cum-Studley: your questions answered
Could my house in Horton-cum-Studley contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Horton-cum-Studley may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do textured ceilings in Horton-cum-Studley homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
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.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Do you cover Horton-cum-Studley?
Yes, we do: Horton-cum-Studley is within the area we cover in Oxfordshire. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
A closer look at the materials
Patched areas
We may sample patches separately.
Coated plasterboard
Board removal avoids stripping.
Choosing the right option
Plastering over it avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it smooth first, and the asbestos stays in the building. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
