FAQs for Sewardstonebury
Is asbestos common in Sewardstonebury homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you work in Sewardstonebury with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
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.
Can I stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
What affects the price in Sewardstonebury
We base our quote on:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The type of material and its condition
- Access to the area
- The category of work
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Sending photos
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- Visible markings

- Garage roof sheets
Landlords near Chingford station often time removal for when a property is empty.
What your quote should include
