Common questions in Owslebury Bottom
Are garage roofs in Owslebury Bottom usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How far is Owslebury Bottom from London?
We cover Owslebury Bottom, about 61 miles from central London.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do you work in Owslebury Bottom?
Yes, Owslebury Bottom is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What it costs
We base our quote on:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- How easy it is to reach
- The size of the job
- Location, parking and any London charges
When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
What to photograph
A few photos can save a site visit:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Visible markings
- A clear close-up
- Cracks or breaks
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you’re planning. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
