Questions from Lower Clapton
Could my house in Lower Clapton contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you work in Lower Clapton with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Lower Clapton?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The removal method depends on the material.
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.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
