Questions from Brabourne
Do you come out to small villages like Brabourne?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in Brabourne have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Brabourne can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
How we price asbestos removal
The cost depends on:
- Parking and access charges
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Access to the area
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
