A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Asbestos removal for Pipsden 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. We often deal with textured coatings, cement roof sheets and water tanks, and people usually contact us about garage roof sheets and outbuildings with cement roofs.
In a village like Pipsden, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.

Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.

Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. We quote each job individually.
