Questions from Mayes Green
Is asbestos common in Mayes Green homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Mayes Green can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you come out to small villages like Mayes Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Mayes Green?
We do: our area includes Mayes Green and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What it costs
Our quotes take into account:
- How easy it is to reach
- Disposal costs
- The quantity or area
- Parking and access charges
A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Sending photos
To help us quote quickly, send:
- Street parking nearby

Photos from a safe distance help: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Should you do it yourself?
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.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
For businesses and landlords in Mayes Green
For managing agents and freeholders in Mayes Green, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Mayes Green, 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.

Materials we deal with
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, but the coating underneath is the same.
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Removing the boards can be an option.
Which option is right?
Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
