Asbestos help in Lambourn
Lambourn: your questions answered
How far is Lambourn from London?
Lambourn is about 62 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can I stay at home during removal?
For outdoor jobs, you can typically stay put. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
How asbestos removal works in Lambourn
Licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, and has to be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. We will tell you if your job in Lambourn falls into that category. Typical materials include gutters and downpipes, water tanks and cement roof sheets, and people typically contact us about broken sheets in gardens and floor tiles before a new floor.
Properties in areas like Lambourn with larger plots may have several outbuildings with cement roofs. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Why people call us in Lambourn
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Asbestos garages
- Debris left from a previous job
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Asbestos found during building work
Older buildings in Lambourn, near Church of St Michael and All Angels or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.
