FAQs for Beamond End
Do you cover Beamond End and the area around Great Missenden station?
Yes, we cover Beamond End and the area towards Great Missenden station, about 3.1 miles north-west.
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
How do I know if a material in Beamond End contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by looking; a lab test is the only reliable way. We take the sample and send it to an accredited laboratory.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Should I use a home testing kit?
Sampling is best left to a competent person, according to HSE, because the material has to be disturbed. We can do it for you.
Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
- We can’t confirm asbestos from a photo; only a lab can
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
What we deal with
- Panels behind heaters
- Pipe lagging
- Bitumen adhesive
- Garage roof sheets
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Flue pipes
- Soffit boards
- Roof felt
- Water tanks
- Floor tiles
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
