Your questions about asbestos removal in Ower
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do older homes in Ower have asbestos?
Any home in Ower built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
What does removal cost?
There’s no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Worth knowing before you book:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is usually separate
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
