Your questions about asbestos removal in West Yoke
How far is West Yoke from London?
We cover West Yoke, about 19 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like West Yoke?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What happens to the waste?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note as your record.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.

What happens next
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell us about parking and access
- Book the replacement before removal
What to avoid
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
What it costs
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- Disposal costs
- Licensed or non-licensed
- What the material is and its state
- How much there is
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
What it might be made of
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Your options compared
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
