FAQs for Midanbury
Do you cover Midanbury from London?
Midanbury is about 68 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Bitterne station?
Yes. Bitterne station is about 0.8 miles south-west of Midanbury, and we cover both.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
How do I know if a material in Midanbury contains asbestos?
Not by looking: only laboratory analysis of a sample can tell you for sure. We sample it and have it analysed.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Limits to be aware of
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Testing doesn’t look for anything else, so it is not a substitute for a survey before major work
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
