Asbestos removal for Ash Vale properties
Asbestos removal in Ash Vale covers homes, rental property and workplaces: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. We often deal with cement soffits, cement roof sheets and flue pipes, and people generally contact us about old cold water tanks and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos.
In a smaller place like Ash Vale, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, reached through gardens and drives. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Things not to do
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.

The scope of asbestos removal
Before booking, note that:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor

If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.

- Floor tiles and adhesive

Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

Questions from Ash Vale
Could my house in Ash Vale contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Ash Vale from London?
Ash Vale is about 32 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Why people call us in Ash Vale
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Debris left from a previous job
- Artex before plastering
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
For rentals close to Ash Vale station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.
