Asbestos removal near Fair Oak

Homes in Fair Oak with bigger gardens can have more than one cement-roofed building, which can often be dealt with together. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Fair Oak questions
How far is Fair Oak from London?
Fair Oak is about 64 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in Fair Oak homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Fair Oak may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Where does the asbestos go?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site, and you receive the consignment note.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Fair Oak?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It varies: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings generally aren’t licensed.
Typical removal jobs in Fair Oak
Old materials break down over time: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.
Typical jobs in Fair Oak include:
- Asbestos garages
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
In a school like Fair Oak Junior School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
