Askett questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Could my house in Askett contain asbestos?
If your home in Askett was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
What happens

Doing it yourself?
