How asbestos removal works in Friar's Gate

FAQs for Friar's Gate
Do you cover small places like Friar's Gate?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do older homes in Friar's Gate have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Friar's Gate may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
