Russell's Green: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Russell's Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Russell's Green from London?
Russell's Green is about 48 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Russell's Green?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
Is asbestos dangerous?
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, which is why it’s identified before work.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
The scope of asbestos removal
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
