About our asbestos removal in Laddingford
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Whether it’s asbestos found during building work and old waste on site, we deal with cement roof sheets, water tanks and cement soffits and more.
In towns and villages like Laddingford, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Questions from Laddingford
How far is Laddingford from London?
Laddingford is about 30 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in Laddingford contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Laddingford may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What happens to the waste?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note as your record.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
What it might be made of
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, which is typically well bound.
Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Choosing the right option
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, rather than halting work when it’s found. The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.

Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

- Garage and shed roofs
- Gutters and downpipes
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits (cement)

What affects the price in Laddingford
Quotes vary because of:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The size of the job
- Travel and parking
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- An idea of size
- The access route
- A wide shot showing where the material is

DIY and asbestos
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.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
