Three Ashes questions
Do you cover small places like Three Ashes?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in Three Ashes have asbestos?
Any home in Three Ashes built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What we deal with in Three Ashes
Old materials break down over time: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Cement flues and gutters
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
If you let property near Bramley (Hants) station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.
What your quote should include
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork

Things not to do
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Prices and what affects them
Our quotes take into account:
- Travel and parking
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The type of material and its condition
- The size of the job
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Sending photos
Helpful photos:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- A rough size or measurement
- Labels, if any
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
Photos from a safe distance help: send them through our contact page.

On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, and keep the material wet as we work. When we are done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows.
