FAQs for Lower North Dean
How far is Lower North Dean from London?
We cover Lower North Dean, about 31 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Lower North Dean homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Parking and access charges
- The survey scope
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Sending photos
To help us quote quickly, send:
- A clear close-up
- Damaged areas
- A photo of the whole area
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
Each job is priced individually. To start, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.

Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If your business premises in Lower North Dean were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
