FAQs for West Itchenor
Do you cover West Itchenor from London?
We cover West Itchenor, about 59 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in West Itchenor homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
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.
Do you test before removing asbestos in West Itchenor?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is normally separate
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

Common reasons for removal jobs in West Itchenor

Before you book anyone
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
