Your questions about asbestos removal in Streatley
Could my house in Streatley contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Streatley can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Streatley from London?
Streatley is about 45 miles from central London, well within our area.
What happens to the waste?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs do not usually affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you cover Streatley?
We do: our area includes Streatley and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.

A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Weighing up your options
Remove, or leave and manage? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
