Asbestos removal near Ham
Asbestos removal near Ham
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Whether it’s debris left from a previous job and old floor tiles and black adhesive, we deal with textured coatings, cement roof sheets and floor tiles and more.
In a village like Ham, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

After the job
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Once we’re done:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- File the consignment note
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell us about parking and access
Don’ts
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
What else we do in Ham
FAQs for Ham
Do you cover small places like Ham?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Ham from London?
Ham is about 64 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It does not always have to come out: 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 you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Options to consider in Ham
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is usually right. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why us?
- Clear written quotes
- Reports and results you can share
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The survey scope
- The type of material and its condition
- Licensed or non-licensed
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Photos that help
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- A picture of the whole area
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Street parking nearby
- Labels, if any
Photos from a safe distance help: send them through our contact page.
