Questions from Hundred Acres
Could my house in Hundred Acres contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Hundred Acres can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Hundred Acres from London?
Hundred Acres is about 62 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Why people call us in Hundred Acres
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.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Old waste on site
- Asbestos found during building work
- Old cold water tanks
In older properties in Hundred Acres, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.
