About our asbestos removal in Ashmansworth
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, with a consignment note for your records. People often contact us about finds during refurbishment and cement water tanks in lofts, including cement soffits, textured coatings and gutters and downpipes.
In a village like Ashmansworth, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

FAQs for Ashmansworth
Do you cover small places like Ashmansworth?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Ashmansworth contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Ashmansworth can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Do you work in Ashmansworth?
We do: our area includes Ashmansworth and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
How we price asbestos removal
What changes the cost:
- The quantity or area
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Travel and parking
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
What to photograph
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Approximate dimensions
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
For a quote, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Where asbestos turns up
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, although sound material can often stay.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Garage roof sheets
In older properties in Ashmansworth, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Before you book anyone
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- The documents you’ll receive
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- What category of work it is
Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Looking after things afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is generally a separate job, so plan it in advance.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Share any survey or test results
Avoid these
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is normally separate
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
