About our asbestos removal in Willey Green

Willey Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Willey Green from London?
Willey Green is about 29 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover small places like Willey Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
After we have finished in Willey Green
File the waste paperwork safely: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
A few practical points:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Don’ts
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
What we deal with in Willey Green
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Artex before plastering
- Old waste on site
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
For rentals close to Wanborough station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.
Questions to ask before you book
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Suitable insurance for the work
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
