Questions from Sutton at Hone

Do you cover small places like Sutton at Hone?

We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.

Is asbestos common in Sutton at Hone homes?

Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.

How do I know if my property contains asbestos?

Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.

Can I put asbestos in a skip?

No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.

How can I get a price?

Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.

Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?

Both are options: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will advise room by room.

What paperwork will I get?

It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.

Do you cover Sutton at Hone?

Yes, Sutton at Hone is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.

Options to consider in Sutton at Hone

A low price may mean shortcuts, which releases fibres. Ask about the method and the waste. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

What you get

  • Identify first, remove only when needed
  • Domestic and commercial work
  • Waste paperwork for every removal
  • Jobs planned to HSE guidance

Responsibilities for owners

If you run a business from older premises in Sutton at Hone, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

Materials, one by one

Painted coatings

Many coatings have been painted over, but the coating underneath is the same.

Ceiling roses and cornices

We sample them if needed.

The process

On the day, we seal off the room and protect floors and fittings, and keep the coating damp as we work. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.

  1. Get in touch with photos
  2. We arrange testing
  3. We talk through the options
  4. We remove it safely if that is what you choose
  5. We dispose of the waste legally

Getting ready

  • Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
  • Let us know where we can park
  • Let us know if something’s broken
