FAQs for Shipton-under-Wychwood
Do you work near Shipton station?
Yes. Shipton station is about 0.5 miles north-east of Shipton-under-Wychwood, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Shipton-under-Wychwood have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Shipton-under-Wychwood can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
