Your questions about asbestos removal in Culham
How far is Culham from London?
Culham is about 51 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Culham have asbestos?
If your home in Culham was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
