Little Chalfont questions
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you work near Chalfont & Latimer station?
Yes. Chalfont & Latimer station is close to the centre of Little Chalfont, and we cover the whole area.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
Typically you can use other rooms: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
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.
