How far is West Ilsley from London?
We cover West Ilsley, about 53 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like West Ilsley?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
