Common questions in Lee Gate
How far is Lee Gate from London?
Lee Gate is about 31 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Lee Gate have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Lee Gate may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
How do I get a quote?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Choosing the right option
Very cheap quotes for Artex removal can mean dry scraping or sanding, which releases fibres. Ask how the coating will be removed and where the waste goes. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.

Painted coatings
Many coatings have been painted over, which doesn’t change what’s underneath.
Patched areas
Different areas may need separate samples.
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
