Wick Hill questions
Do older homes in Wick Hill have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Wick Hill and the area around Bracknell station?
Yes, we cover Wick Hill and the area towards Bracknell station, about 0.7 miles south-west.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are generally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Asbestos removal for Wick Hill properties
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. Common materials are floor tiles, cement soffits and cement roof sheets, and people usually contact us about Artex before plastering and old waste on site.
In towns and villages like Wick Hill, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, with access through the garden or drive. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.
