Common questions in Little Chalfont
Do you cover Little Chalfont and the area around Chalfont & Latimer station?
Yes. Chalfont & Latimer station is close to the centre of Little Chalfont, and we cover the whole area.
Do older homes in Little Chalfont have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Little Chalfont may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
