Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
How asbestos removal works in Widmer End
Removal isn’t always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll say so. Whether it’s old flues and cement water tanks in lofts, we deal with gutters and downpipes, floor tiles and water tanks.
Rural removal near Widmer End can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Widmer End
Do you come out to small villages like Widmer End?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The type of material and its condition
- Parking and access charges
- The quantity or area
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Helping us quote
Photos often save us a visit:
- An overall view
- A close-up from a safe distance
- The access route
- Cracks or breaks
