Common questions in Ibworth
Do you cover small places like Ibworth?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Ibworth and the area around Overton station?
Yes. Overton station is about 3.5 miles south-west of Ibworth, and we cover both.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Is my textured ceiling in Ibworth asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many don’t. The only way to know is to test a sample.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.

At the end, the room is cleaned and checked. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there is no confusion.
