Common questions in Ivybridge
Can you work in Ivybridge with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you work near Twickenham station?
Yes. Twickenham station is about 0.8 miles south-east of Ivybridge, and we cover both.
Can I just skim over it?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.

Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
What it might be made of
Coated plasterboard
Taking boards down whole avoids stripping the coating.
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.
