Asbestos removal in Ipswich

We cover Ipswich. The council route accepts only a few small asbestos items from homes, so roofs and larger clearances fall outside it.

Our service covers dismantling and removal, collection of material that is already down, and testing of a suspect material beforehand. Ipswich is part of Suffolk, which has one county-wide arrangement for household asbestos.

What Ipswich Borough Council collects

Note

Small items, booked through the county

Ipswich Borough Council states that small items of household asbestos from Ipswich homes can be collected, for example a water tank, an ironing board, up to three roofing sheets or a length of downpipe. Requests are made online through a Suffolk County Council booking page.

Suffolk Recycling states that no Suffolk recycling centre accepts asbestos. The borough treats a dismantled shed or garage as construction waste and refers residents to a contractor.

Removal work beyond the council collection

Garage roofs, whole sheds and garages, Artex ceilings, old floor tiles and storage heaters in Ipswich are all covered by the same free, no-obligation quote.
