Asbestos removal in Ickford
Removal is not always the answer. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will say so. Typical materials include flue pipes, cement soffits and water tanks, and typical jobs are old flues and cement water tanks in lofts.
In Ickford, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Common questions in Ickford
Is asbestos common in Ickford homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Ickford from London?
We cover Ickford, about 45 miles from central London.
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.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
What does removal cost?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Duty holders and landlords in Ickford
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
