Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

Oare questions
Do you cover Oare and the area around Newbury Racecourse station?
Yes, we cover Oare and the area towards Newbury Racecourse station, about 4.7 miles south.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Where does the asbestos go?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
