After the job
If asbestos is found, we will explain your options: it may be left, covered or removed, depending on your plans.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
- Leave the material undisturbed until we’ve sampled it
Don’ts
Photos are helpful, as long as you do not disturb anything.
Get the result before work is booked, so there is no delay later.

Questions from Holmer Green
Do you cover Holmer Green from London?
We cover Holmer Green, about 28 miles from central London.
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
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.
