Questions from Aldermaston Soke
Do you cover Aldermaston Soke from London?
Aldermaston Soke is about 45 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in Aldermaston Soke homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can I stay at home during removal?
For outdoor jobs, you can normally stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings generally aren’t licensed.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
A closer look at the materials
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.

Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
