How asbestos removal works in Ash
Licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We will tell you if your job in Ash falls into that category. Typical jobs include old sheds and coal bunkers and finds during refurbishment, including flue pipes, cement roof sheets and textured coatings.
Properties in areas like Ash with larger plots may have several outbuildings with cement roofs, which can often be dealt with together. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

FAQs for Ash
Do older homes in Ash have asbestos?
Any home in Ash built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Ash from London?
Ash is about 32 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Do I need to move out?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Ash?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
It doesn’t always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.

DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
After we have finished in Ash
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Book the replacement before removal
- Let us know where we can park
Don’ts
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Typical removal jobs in Ash
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Typical jobs in Ash include:
- Asbestos garages
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Cement water tanks in lofts
Older buildings in Ash, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Before you book anyone
- The scope of the job, in writing
- VAT, clearly stated
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
Duty holders and landlords in Ash
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you manage or own a block in Ash, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
