FAQs for Islip
Could my house in Islip contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Islip can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover small places like Islip?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What happens to the waste?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the consignment note.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor jobs don’t typically affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How we price asbestos removal
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- Access to the area
- Parking and access charges
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

After we’ve finished in Islip
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
Some practical advice:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Book the replacement before removal
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Avoid these
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Materials, one by one
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, which is normally well bound.
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
How it works
Materials are released carefully and removed whole where possible, without breaking, dropping or power tools. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we’ll do before we start. In winter, the light goes in Islip by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

- On the day we set up, remove and bag the material
