Common questions in Comp
How far is Comp from London?
Comp is about 24 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in Comp contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do you cover Comp?
Yes, Comp is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.

Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.

Helpful guides
Materials, one by one
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.

Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Options to consider in Comp
Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
