Albourne Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Albourne Green from London?
We cover Albourne Green, about 39 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like Albourne Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can you test Artex in Albourne Green?
Yes, we test textured coatings. Some contain a small amount of asbestos.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can I do it myself?
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.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

A closer look at the materials
Flues and tanks
A test before removal is a good idea.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles are often found under newer floors; test them before they come up.
After we’ve finished in Albourne Green
Each sample gets a written result, showing whether asbestos was found and the type.
A few practical points:
- Test everything you are worried about at once
- Photos of the material help us plan
- Ask us if you are unsure whether you need a test or a survey
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
What to avoid
Photos are helpful, as long as you do not disturb anything.
Test before you book the builders, so there’s no delay later.
Choosing the right option
Home testing kits are available, but you take the sample yourself, which means disturbing the material. HSE advises that a competent person takes samples. The cost of asbestos testing depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
