Your questions about asbestos removal in Burroughs Grove
Could my house in Burroughs Grove contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Burroughs Grove from London?
Burroughs Grove is about 29 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor jobs do not normally affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Responsibilities for owners
If your business premises in Burroughs Grove were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Why people call us in Burroughs Grove

- Broken sheets in gardens
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Artex before plastering
Landlords near Marlow station often time removal for when a property is empty.

What you get

- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
