Your questions about asbestos removal in Myrke

Do you cover Myrke and the area around Slough station?

Yes. Slough station is about 0.9 miles north of Myrke, and we cover both.

How far is Myrke from London?

Myrke is about 21 miles from central London, well within our area.

How quickly can you come out?

We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.

How dangerous is asbestos?

Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.

Do you work in Myrke?

Yes, Myrke is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.

Should all asbestos be removed?

Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.

Is damaged asbestos an emergency?

Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.

Does weather affect the work?

That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.

See our prices page and published price ranges.

What happens next

Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is generally a separate job, so plan it in advance.

Looking after any asbestos that remains:

  • File the consignment note
  • Send photos of the material and the access
  • Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
  • Let neighbours know if work is near them

Don’ts

Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.

Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

What we deal with in Myrke

Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so buildings across Slough built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.

Typical jobs in Myrke include:

  • Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
  • Materials found mid-project
  • Garage roofs and whole garages
  • Artex ceilings before renovation

In older properties in Myrke, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether VAT is included
  • Any exclusions
  • How fibres will be kept down
  • Waste disposal and the consignment note

How to choose an asbestos contractor

Can I do it myself?

Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Prices and what affects them

Every quote reflects:

  • The category of work
  • Disposal costs
  • Access: height, lofts, steps and space
  • The size of the job

When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.

What to photograph

Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:

  • A clear close-up
  • A wide shot showing where the material is
  • The parking area
  • An idea of size

Photos from a safe distance help: send them through our contact page.

For landlords, agents and businesses

Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.

How we work

Once removal is finished, we clean and check the area, and we talk you through what was done. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening. Outdoor removal in Myrke is planned to finish in daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:25pm.

  1. Send us the postcode and photos
  2. We work out what category the work falls into
  3. We book the work and notify if required
  4. On the day we set up, remove and bag the material
  5. We dispose of the waste legally and send the paperwork

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
  • Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
  • Keep the area clear of children and pets
