Questions from Mill Hill
Could my house in Mill Hill contain asbestos?
Any home in Mill Hill built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Mill Hill and the area around Walmer station?
Yes. Walmer station is about 0.7 miles south-east of Mill Hill, and we cover both.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote after testing.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.

Materials, one by one
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.
Painted coatings
Many coatings have been painted over, which doesn’t change what’s underneath.
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Every quote reflects:
- The quantity or area
