About our asbestos removal in Hook

Where asbestos turns up
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
In older properties, we often see:
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Asbestos garages
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Old cold water tanks
Older buildings in Hook, near St Paul's or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.

Your options compared
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 generally right. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Hook
Do you cover Hook and the area around Chessington North station?
Yes. Chessington North station is close to the centre of Hook, and we cover the whole area.
Do older homes in Hook have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Hook may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What does removal cost?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.

Duty holders and landlords in Hook
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Hook must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
