Common questions in Bracknell
How far is Bracknell from London?
We cover Bracknell, about 29 miles from central London.
Could my house in Bracknell contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Bracknell can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Bracknell?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
After the job
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is normally a separate job, so plan it in advance.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Let us know where we can park
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Book the replacement before removal
Don’ts
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
How we price asbestos removal
The cost depends on:
- What the material is and its state
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Travel and parking
- How easy it is to reach
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
What to photograph
What to photograph:
- Visible markings
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- How we’d reach it
- Approximate dimensions
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
