Do older homes in Brownbread Street have asbestos?

How far is Brownbread Street from London?
Brownbread Street is about 46 miles from central London, well within our area.
My sample contains asbestos. What now?
Your options depend on what it is, its condition and what work you are planning: leaving it, covering it or removing it.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
