Questions from Norwood Green
Do textured ceilings in Norwood Green homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you work in Norwood Green despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Where asbestos turns up
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, so age is hard to judge.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Ceilings before skimming
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
Older homes across Norwood Green may have coatings added during past renovations.
