Asbestos removal in Firgo
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. People often contact us about Artex ceilings before renovation and old floor tiles and black adhesive, involving gutters and downpipes, textured coatings and cement soffits.
Rural removal near Firgo can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Firgo
Do you cover Firgo from London?
Firgo is about 58 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station?
Yes, we cover Firgo and the area towards Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, about 2.4 miles north.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can usually stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do you cover Firgo?
We do: our area includes Firgo and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.

Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Limits to be aware of
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Making good is normally a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Common materials
- Soffits (cement)
- Bitumen roof felt
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Gutters and downpipes
- Water tanks
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Flue pipes
- Garage and shed roofs
- Panels and boards
- Artex and textured coatings
Prices and what affects them
What changes the cost:
- Material and condition
- How much there is
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
Helping us quote
The most useful photos are:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- An overall view
- Cracks or breaks
- Street parking nearby

Where asbestos turns up
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Old flues
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Textured coatings
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
If you let property near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.

What to avoid
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.

Choosing the right option
Should it come out? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
