Asbestos removal in East Ilsley

You don’t always have to remove asbestos. 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. Whether it’s debris left from a previous job and finds during refurbishment, we cover cement roof sheets, water tanks and cement soffits and more.

Rural removal near East Ilsley can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

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

Service details

Should you do it yourself?

Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Prices and what affects them

Our quotes take into account:

  • Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
  • Parking and access charges
  • The size of the job
  • Waste quantity and disposal

Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.

Photos that help

The most useful photos are:

  • Where we could park
  • Visible markings
  • Approximate dimensions
  • Damaged areas

Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.

What it might be made of

Water tanks and flues

Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.

Floor tiles

Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with power tools.

The process

Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, ready to go to a permitted site. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. Late-December sunset in East Ilsley is about 4:00pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

  1. Describe the material and send pictures
  2. If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
  3. We plan the job and send a written quote
  4. We remove the material with controls to keep fibres down
  5. We clean up, dispose of the waste legally and send the consignment note

Before we arrive

  • Dig out previous surveys
  • Keep away from the material in the meantime
  • Keep the area clear of children and pets

Getting a price

Every job is quoted in writing. Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749 with the details.

What happens next

Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is usually a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.

If asbestos stays in the building:

  • Photos of the material and the route in help
  • Book the replacement before removal
  • Share any survey or test results
  • Keep children and pets away on the day

Avoid these

Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.

Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.

East Ilsley questions

How far is East Ilsley from London?

East Ilsley is about 51 miles from central London, well within our area.

Could my house in East Ilsley contain asbestos?

If your home in East Ilsley was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.

How can I get a price?

Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.

Do you give written quotes?

Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.

How do I know if my property contains asbestos?

Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.

What paperwork will I get?

It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.

Do you cover East Ilsley?

We do: our area includes East Ilsley and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.

Do you work in flats?

Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

Duty holders and landlords in East Ilsley

Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
