What happens next
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is typically a separate job, so plan it in advance.
Going forward:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Avoid these
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Common questions in Preston Crowmarsh
Do you cover Preston Crowmarsh from London?
Preston Crowmarsh is about 44 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Preston Crowmarsh?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The removal method depends on the material.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Why people call us in Preston Crowmarsh
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Asbestos garages
- Materials found mid-project
- Debris left from a previous job
- Artex before plastering
For non-domestic buildings like Benson Church of England Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
