Questions from South Oxhey
Could my house in South Oxhey contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in South Oxhey can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Carpenders Park station?
Yes. Carpenders Park station is about 0.6 miles north-east of South Oxhey, and we cover both.
How do I get a quote?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do you work in South Oxhey?
Yes. We cover South Oxhey and the surrounding area as part of Greater London. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Afterwards
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
For managing agents and freeholders in South Oxhey, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
