Do you work on commercial premises?

Do I get anything in writing afterwards?

How much does asbestos removal cost in Appleford-on-Thames?
There is no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What happens to the waste?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the consignment note.
What affects the price in Appleford-on-Thames
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The type of material and its condition
- The quantity or area
- Disposal costs
- Licensed or non-licensed
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Why people call us in Appleford-on-Thames
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Artex before plastering
Older buildings in Appleford-on-Thames, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
Questions to ask before you book
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- How fibres will be kept down
- Whether the job needs notifying
What it might be made of
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
Duty holders and landlords in Appleford-on-Thames
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Appleford-on-Thames must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Choosing the right option
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. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
What you get
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Across London and the South East
