Do you cover small places like Shippon?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Shippon and the area around Radley station?
Yes. Radley station is about 2.8 miles east of Shippon, and we cover both.

The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Can you help with a shop or office?

Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
