How asbestos removal works in St Margarets

In St Margarets, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Common questions in St Margarets
Do you cover St Margarets and the area around St Margarets (London) station?
Yes. St Margarets (London) station is close to the centre of St Margarets, and we cover the whole area.
Do older homes in St Margarets have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in St Margarets may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
