Bury's Bank questions
How far is Bury's Bank from London?
We cover Bury's Bank, about 52 miles from central London.
Do you work near Newbury Racecourse station?
Yes. Newbury Racecourse station is about 1.2 miles north-west of Bury's Bank, and we cover both.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Where do the sheets go?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
How dangerous is asbestos?
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.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
