Your questions about asbestos removal in Shepherd's Green
Do you come out to small villages like Shepherd's Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
