Plumpton Green: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Plumpton Green homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Plumpton Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
My sample contains asbestos. What now?
Your options depend on what it is, its condition and what work you are planning: leave it, cover it or have it removed.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Choosing the right option
One sample or several? Each different material needs its own sample, and sometimes tiles and adhesive or coatings in different rooms need separate samples. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
