Asbestos removal near St Ives
Asbestos removal for St Ives properties
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, and you get the waste paperwork. From old waste on site and Artex ceilings before renovation, we deal with floor tiles, gutters and downpipes and textured coatings and more.
Rural removal near St Ives can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

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.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in St Ives, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let us know where we can park
- Photos of the material and the route in help
Avoid these
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

At a school such as St Ives Primary & Nursery School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.

Options to consider in St Ives
Should it come out? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is usually right. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
St Ives: your questions answered
Do older homes in St Ives have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
What does removal cost?
Every job is priced individually: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Do you cover St Ives?
We do: our area includes St Ives and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
How can I get a price?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
