Your questions about asbestos testing in Halton
Do you cover Halton from London?
We cover Halton, about 34 miles from central London.
Do you cover Halton and the area around Wendover station?
Yes. Wendover station is about 1.6 miles south of Halton, and we cover both.
Do you work in Halton?
Yes, Halton is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Do I need more than one sample?
Typically one for each different material, sometimes more. We will recommend a number once we know more.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
