FAQs for Norham Manor
How far is Norham Manor from London?
Norham Manor is about 53 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in Norham Manor homes?
If your home in Norham Manor was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Is my textured ceiling in Norham Manor asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. A test will tell you.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

Ceiling roses and cornices
Roses and cornices may be coated.
Choosing the right option
Test, leave, cover or remove? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is normally better. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
Why people choose us
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Work done to the regulations
- Houses, flats and business premises
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
See our prices page and published price ranges.
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
What it costs
What changes the cost:
- The category of work
- The survey scope
- Travel and parking
- How much there is
A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
What to photograph
Photo tips:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- How we’d reach it
- Labels, if any
- Where we could park
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
