Sayers Common questions
How far is Sayers Common from London?
Sayers Common is about 38 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you come out to small villages like Sayers Common?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do you work in Sayers Common?
Yes, Sayers Common is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
