Merton: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Merton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do older homes in Merton have asbestos?
If your home in Merton was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Can I stay at home during removal?
For outdoor jobs, you can normally stay put. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
