Asbestos removal near Ashley
Removal is not always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will tell you honestly when that is the case. Typical materials include cement roof sheets, gutters and downpipes and water tanks, and typical jobs are asbestos found during building work and floor tiles before a new floor.
In a village like Ashley, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

FAQs for Ashley
Do you cover Ashley from London?
We cover Ashley, about 66 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Ashley homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The removal method depends on the material.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
