Asbestos help in Town Row
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
How asbestos removal works in Town Row
If your builder has found suspect material in Town Row, stop work in that area and keep people away. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. Typical jobs include debris left from a previous job and old flues, including gutters and downpipes, textured coatings and cement soffits.
In towns and villages like Town Row, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you manage or own a block in Town Row, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.

Helpful guides
Common questions in Town Row
Is asbestos common in Town Row homes?
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.
How far is Town Row from London?
We cover Town Row, about 34 miles from central London.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
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.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
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.
