Little Stanmore questions
Is asbestos common in Little Stanmore homes?
Any home in Little Stanmore built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Mill Hill Broadway station?
Yes. Mill Hill Broadway station is about 1.6 miles east of Little Stanmore, and we cover both.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you cover Little Stanmore?
Yes, we do: our area includes Little Stanmore and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What we deal with in Little Stanmore
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so testing is the only way to know.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Ceilings before plastering
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Ceilings before downlights go in
If your home is one of the older properties in Little Stanmore, near Church of St Lawrence or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
Questions to ask before you book
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Suitable insurance for the work
- The method and controls
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
