About our asbestos removal in Andwell
Licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, and has to be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. We’ll explain what applies to your job in Andwell. Typical jobs include Artex ceilings before renovation and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles, involving cement roof sheets, flue pipes and water tanks.
In areas like Andwell, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

A closer look at the materials
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
After the job
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
Some practical advice:
- Let us know where we can park
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Share any survey or test results
What to avoid
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Common questions in Andwell
Do you work near Hook station?
Yes. Hook station is about 2.4 miles east of Andwell, and we cover both.
How far is Andwell from London?
Andwell is about 43 miles from central London, well within our area.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Not always. Cement and textured coatings are typically non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
