Doing it yourself?
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.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Questions from Ipsden
Do you work on properties in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover Ipsden and the area around Cholsey station?
Yes. Cholsey station is about 3.3 miles west of Ipsden, and we cover both.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What it costs
Quotes vary because of:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Travel and parking
- What the material is and its state
There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Helping us quote
What to photograph:
- An idea of size
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- A picture of the whole area
- Street parking nearby
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you run a business from older premises in Ipsden, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Which option is right?
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Ask for the waste paperwork. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
