Strawberry Hill: your questions answered
Do you work near Strawberry Hill station?
Yes, we cover Strawberry Hill, including the streets around Strawberry Hill station.
Could my house in Strawberry Hill contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Strawberry Hill can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. The only way to know is to test a sample.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, so we quote after testing.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Parking and access charges
- Disposal costs
- What the material is and its state
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Helping us quote
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A clear close-up
- A rough size or measurement
- Cracks or breaks
- An overall view
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
