Your questions about asbestos removal in Acton Vale
Can you work in Acton Vale with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you work near Acton Central station?
Yes, we cover Acton Vale and the area towards Acton Central station, about 0.5 miles west.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
