Asbestos testing near Monken Hadley

FAQs for Monken Hadley
Do you work near Hadley Wood station?
Yes. Hadley Wood station is about 1 mile north-east of Monken Hadley, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Monken Hadley homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
