- Tell us about parking and access

Danaway: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Danaway homes?
Any home in Danaway built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Danaway from London?
Danaway is about 35 miles from central London, well within our area.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
The scope of asbestos removal
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Which option is right?
Should it come out? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is generally right. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.

Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
