North Looe questions
Do you come out to small villages like North Looe?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in North Looe have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do you work in North Looe?
Yes, North Looe is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.

Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.

Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you run a business from older premises in North Looe, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Looking after things afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
A few practical points:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell us about parking and access
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Things not to do
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
