Great Horwood questions
Is asbestos common in Great Horwood homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Great Horwood may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Great Horwood?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The removal method depends on the material.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
