Hamstead Marshall: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Hamstead Marshall?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Hamstead Marshall from London?
Hamstead Marshall is about 57 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Materials, one by one
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Which option is right?
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is usually right. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
