Twitton questions
Is asbestos common in Twitton homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Twitton may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Twitton from London?

Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What happens to the waste?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.

Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, so future trades know about it.
Keeping things safe:
