Marlow questions
How far is Marlow from London?
We cover Marlow, about 30 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Marlow homes?
If your home in Marlow was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
What affects the price in Marlow
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- The survey scope
- How much waste there is
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- What the material is and its state
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.

Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- A clear close-up
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Where we could park
