Asbestos removal near Ickham
Asbestos removal for Ickham properties
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. People often contact us about vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes, involving textured coatings, floor tiles and gutters and downpipes.
Rural removal near Ickham can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

The scope of asbestos removal
Worth knowing before booking:

Common materials
- Asbestos cement sheets

- Gutters and downpipes
- Flue pipes
- Artex and textured coatings
- Bitumen roof felt
- Garage and shed roofs

Doing it yourself?
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.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Looking after things afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, for anyone working there later.
Once we’re done:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Book the replacement before removal
- Tell us about parking and access
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
What to avoid
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.

Duty holders and landlords in Ickham
If you run a business from older premises in Ickham, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.

Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- The type of material and its condition
- Access to the area
- How much waste there is
- Travel and parking
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Helping us quote
Photos often save us a visit:
- Approximate dimensions
- Labels, if any
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- An overall view

FAQs for Ickham
Could my house in Ickham contain asbestos?
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.
Do you come out to small villages like Ickham?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can I stay at home during removal?
For outdoor jobs, you can normally stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an 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.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you cover Ickham?
Yes, we do: our area includes Ickham and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
