FAQs for Leverton
Do you cover Leverton from London?
We cover Leverton, about 62 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like Leverton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both are options: the right choice depends on the room. We will advise room by room.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Prices and what affects them
What changes the cost:
- The category of work
- The quantity or area
- Location, parking and any London charges

Helping us quote
Photos often save us a visit:
- Visible markings
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch

A closer look at the materials
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, which doesn’t change what’s underneath.
Coated plasterboard
Taking boards down whole avoids stripping the coating.
After the job
File the result and the paperwork.
To avoid problems in future:
- Test every different coating
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
Things not to do
Test before the builders arrive.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Leverton, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Choosing the right option
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Each has pros and cons, depending on the room. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
What happens
We bag and label the waste as we work, for disposal at a permitted site. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and keeps dust to a minimum.
- Describe the coatings and rooms
- We sample each coating
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and quote
- We seal off the room and remove the coating wet
- We clean up and send the waste paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
Getting a price
Every job is quoted in writing. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
