What else we do in Ashford Hill
How we price asbestos removal
What drives the price:
- The size of the job
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.
Photos that help

- An idea of size
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- An overall view
Include any existing survey or test when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
Where asbestos turns up
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is when removal comes up.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Finds during refurbishment
- Cement flues and gutters
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Garage roofs and whole garages
Landlords near Midgham station often time removal for when a property is empty.
What your quote should include
- Any exclusions
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- VAT, clearly stated
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
Duty holders and landlords in Ashford Hill
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
For managing agents and freeholders in Ashford Hill, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
What happens next
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, as the method may need to change.
After we’ve finished:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Let us know where we can park
Avoid these
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
