Asbestos removal near Ipsden
Asbestos removal near Ipsden
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Whether it’s garage roof sheets and old sheds and coal bunkers, we deal with flue pipes, cement roof sheets and textured coatings.
In Ipsden, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Questions from Ipsden
Is asbestos common in Ipsden 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.
Do you work near Cholsey station?
Yes. Cholsey station is about 3.3 miles west of Ipsden, and we cover both.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Ipsden?
Every job is priced individually: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that won’t be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.

A closer look at the materials

Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
How we price asbestos removal
What changes the cost:
- The type of material and its condition
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The category of work
- The survey scope
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
