DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
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.
Hitchambury questions
Do you work near Taplow station?
Yes. Taplow station is about 0.8 miles south of Hitchambury, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Hitchambury homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Hitchambury?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. We quote each job individually.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that won’t be disturbed can be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
