Staines-upon-Thames: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Staines-upon-Thames homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Staines station?
Yes, we cover Staines-upon-Thames, including the streets around Staines station.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally aren’t licensed.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Do you give written quotes?

For businesses and landlords in Staines-upon-Thames
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Staines-upon-Thames, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
After the job
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Things not to do
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.

Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
