Common questions in Pratt's Bottom
Could my house in Pratt's Bottom contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Pratt's Bottom may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.

We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
How do I get a quote?

Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
