FAQs for Thorncombe Street
Do you cover small places like Thorncombe Street?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Thorncombe Street from London?
Thorncombe Street is about 31 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
What does removal cost?
There’s no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Afterwards
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Send photos of the material and the access
Don’ts
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Which option is right?
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.

How we price asbestos removal
Every quote reflects:
- The quantity or area
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The survey scope
- Waste quantity and disposal
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Approximate dimensions
- Damaged areas
- Where we could park
- An overall view
Not sure what you need? Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 and describe the problem, and we will advise.
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
