Asbestos removal for Ivybridge 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. Common materials are floor tiles, flue pipes and cement roof sheets, and people usually contact us about outbuildings with cement roofs and garage roof sheets.
In London neighbourhoods like Ivybridge, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, so future trades know about it.
Some practical advice:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Photos of the material and the route in help
What to avoid
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Ivybridge: your questions answered
Could my house in Ivybridge contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Ivybridge can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Ivybridge despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
It doesn’t always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Do you work in Ivybridge?
Yes. We cover Ivybridge and the surrounding area as part of Greater London. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
What does removal cost?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
Duty holders and landlords in Ivybridge
If you manage or own a block in Ivybridge, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
What we deal with in Ivybridge
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so buildings across Greater London built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
These are some of the things we deal with in Ivybridge:
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Finds during refurbishment
- Old sheds and coal bunkers

Helpful guides
Your options compared
Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Our quotes are clear about VAT.

Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
