FAQs for Great Hampden
Do you come out to small villages like Great Hampden?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Great Hampden and the area around Great Missenden station?
Yes, we cover Great Hampden and the area towards Great Missenden station, about 2.6 miles east.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Do you cover Great Hampden?
We do: Great Hampden is within the area we cover in Buckinghamshire. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Do not pressure-wash it first.
Limits to be aware of
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- High winds can delay roof work
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
What we deal with
- Fixings and bolts
- Roof felt
- Ridge pieces
- Gutters and downpipes
- Cement wall panels
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Bargeboards
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Which option is right?
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
