How far is Ascott Earl from London?
We cover Ascott Earl, about 68 miles from central London.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor jobs don’t usually affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.
What does removal cost?
There is no fixed price: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Asbestos removal in Ascott Earl
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical materials include water tanks, flue pipes and cement soffits, and typical jobs are debris left from a previous job and garage roof sheets.
Rural removal near Ascott Earl can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

For landlords, agents and businesses

Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Typical removal jobs in Ascott Earl
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, although sound material can often stay.

- Textured coatings

- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
Older buildings in Ascott Earl, near Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
