Vines Cross questions
Do you cover small places like Vines Cross?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in Vines Cross have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Vines Cross can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
How can I get a price?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Vines Cross?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.

Typical removal jobs in Vines Cross
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Loft water tanks
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Cement flues and gutters
- Asbestos garages
In older properties in Vines Cross, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.

- The scope of the job, in writing
- Any exclusions

Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
