Seething Wells questions
Do you work in Seething Wells despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Is the Artex in my Seething Wells home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
How can I get a price?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
