Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The type of material and its condition
- The quantity or area
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The category of work
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
Photos that help
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:

Common questions in Burghclere Common
Do you cover small places like Burghclere Common?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How far is Burghclere Common from London?
We cover Burghclere Common, about 54 miles from central London.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can I stay at home while you work?
Typically you can use other rooms: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
