What else we do in Sutton Courtenay
Which option is right?
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. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Duty holders and landlords in Sutton Courtenay
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
How we price asbestos removal
Quotes vary because of:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The quantity or area
- Location, parking and any London charges
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Where we could park
- A photo of the whole area
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A rough size or measurement
