Questions from Elmbridge Village
Do older homes in Elmbridge Village have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Elmbridge Village from London?
Elmbridge Village is about 31 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
When will I get the result?
Timing depends on the lab. We will give you an idea when we book.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
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.
My sample contains asbestos. What now?
A positive result tells you the type of asbestos found. Then the options depend on the material, its condition and your plans: leave it, cover it, or remove it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
