Staples Corner questions
Could my house in Staples Corner contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Staples Corner despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Staples Corner?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Staples Corner?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. We quote each job individually.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Choosing the right option
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
