Questions from Hazlemere
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Could my house in Hazlemere contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How can I get a price?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
What we deal with in Hazlemere
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Debris left from a previous job
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Old flues
- Artex ceilings before renovation
Landlords near High Wycombe station often time removal for when a property is empty.
What your quote should include
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Whether the job needs notifying
Which option is right?
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Why people choose us
- Domestic and commercial work
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
