Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- How easy it is to reach
- Travel and parking
- The size of the job
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Sending photos
The most useful photos are:
- Approximate dimensions
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- An overall view

Which option is right?
A test or a full survey? Testing checks the materials you’re worried about; a survey checks the whole building or work area. For small jobs a test is often enough. The cost of asbestos testing depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.

Common questions in South Wonston
Do you cover South Wonston from London?
We cover South Wonston, about 59 miles from central London.
Could my house in South Wonston contain asbestos?
Any home in South Wonston built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
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.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Should you do it yourself?
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.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
