Tattenhoe questions
Do you cover Tattenhoe from London?
Tattenhoe is about 45 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Tattenhoe and the area around Bletchley station?
Yes, we cover Tattenhoe and the area towards Bletchley station, about 2.3 miles east.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.

Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date

- We need the room cleared
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
