Common questions in Highstreet Green
Do you work near Witley station?
Yes, we cover Highstreet Green and the area towards Witley station, about 2.7 miles north-west.
Do you cover Highstreet Green from London?
We cover Highstreet Green, about 35 miles from central London.
Do you do air testing?
Air testing for clearance is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst. We’ll tell you whether you need it.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you run a business from older premises in Highstreet Green, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Which option is right?
You can buy home testing kits, but you take the sample yourself, which means disturbing the material. HSE recommends a competent person does the sampling. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
