Questions from Pitland Street
Is asbestos common in Pitland Street homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Pitland Street may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Do you work in Pitland Street?
Yes, we do: our area includes Pitland Street and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Usually, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Which option is right?
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
