Asbestos help in Fox
What it might be made of

Textured coatings

Asbestos removal in Fox
If your builder has found suspect material in Fox, work should stop there and people kept out. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. Common materials are cement soffits, gutters and downpipes and textured coatings, and people usually contact us about old cold water tanks and debris left from a previous job.
In a village like Fox, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Questions from Fox
Do you work near Grateley station?
Yes, we cover Fox and the area towards Grateley station, about 2.1 miles south-west.
How far is Fox from London?
Fox is about 68 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It doesn’t always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Fox, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
The process
Materials are released carefully and removed whole where possible, never broken up, dropped or cut with power tools. It helps if we can park nearby. Outdoor removal in Fox is planned to finish in daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:25pm.
