Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

FAQs for Holmbury St Mary
Is asbestos common in Holmbury St Mary homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Gomshall station?
Yes. Gomshall station is about 2.1 miles north-west of Holmbury St Mary, and we cover both.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
What does removal cost?
There is no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
What it costs
What drives the price:
- The quantity or area
- How many samples are needed
- Travel and parking
- Disposal costs
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- A picture of the whole area
- Damaged areas
- A clear close-up
- An idea of size
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
