For businesses and landlords in West Challow
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.

About our asbestos removal in West Challow
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. Whether it’s vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos, we deal with textured coatings, flue pipes and cement roof sheets.
In towns and villages like West Challow, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Questions from West Challow
Do you work on properties in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you come out to small villages like West Challow?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
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.
How much does asbestos removal cost in West Challow?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Weighing up your options
Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is generally right. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Photos that help

What we deal with in West Challow
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Asbestos garages
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Broken sheets in gardens
Older buildings in West Challow, near Church of St Laurence or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.
Before booking anyone
