Asbestos removal for Ambrosden properties
If your builder has found suspect material in Ambrosden, stop work in that area and keep people away. We will identify it and plan what happens next. Typical materials include water tanks, flue pipes and cement soffits, and typical jobs are sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and garage roofs and whole garages.
In a smaller place like Ambrosden, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, reached through gardens and drives. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

For businesses and landlords in Ambrosden
If your business premises in Ambrosden were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

Doing it yourself?

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Ambrosden: your questions answered
How far is Ambrosden from London?
Ambrosden is about 51 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Ambrosden have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Ambrosden may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What we deal with in Ambrosden
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, although sound material can often stay.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Loft water tanks
- Old waste on site
- Textured coatings
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
In older properties in Ambrosden, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.

What happens

- We plan the job and send a written quote
- We remove the material with controls to keep fibres down

Your options compared
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
