Osterley: your questions answered
Do you cover Osterley and the area around Isleworth station?
Yes, we cover Osterley and the area towards Isleworth station, about 0.9 miles south-east.
Is asbestos common in Osterley homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Osterley may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote after testing.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Is my textured ceiling in Osterley asbestos?
Not every coating does: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
What it costs
The cost depends on:
- The type of material and its condition
- The quantity or area
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
