Questions from Ufton Green
Do you cover Ufton Green and the area around Aldermaston station?
Yes, we cover Ufton Green and the area towards Aldermaston station, about 1.8 miles west.
How far is Ufton Green from London?

Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. 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 tell if it’s asbestos by looking?
You cannot tell by looking; a lab test is the only reliable way. We take the sample and send it to an accredited laboratory.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
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.

Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

- Garage and shed roofs before removal or repair

- Something broken during building work

Materials we deal with
Cement sheets
Roof sheets are sampled safely from the edge, as asbestos cement roofs are fragile.
Boards and panels
Insulating board needs licensed work in most cases, so the result matters.
After we’ve finished in Ufton Green
A positive result isn’t a reason to panic: leave and manage it, cover it, or remove it before work.
A few practical points:
- Tell us if there’s adhesive under tiles
- Test everything you are worried about at once
- Clear access to the area
- Photos of the material help us plan
What to avoid
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and don’t try to clean it up.
Test before booking the builders, so you can plan properly.
Prices and what affects them
Our quotes take into account:
- How many different materials need sampling
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
