FAQs for Lower Denford
Do you work near Hungerford station?
Yes. Hungerford station is about 0.7 miles west of Lower Denford, and we cover both.
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.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Lower Denford?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
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.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Looking after things afterwards
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, as the method may need to change.
Keeping things safe:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- File the consignment note
- Share any survey or test results
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Don’ts
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Choosing the right option
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
What you get
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Covering London and the South East
- Reports and results you can share
- Work done to the regulations

Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
What we do and do not cover
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
