Common situations in older properties include:
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Artex before plastering
- Garage roofs and whole garages
In older buildings across Ashburton, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.

Asbestos removal for Ashburton properties
We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across Ashburton: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Every job is planned to HSE guidance, with the waste taken to a permitted site. Typical jobs include asbestos garages and outbuildings with cement roofs, including flue pipes, textured coatings and water tanks.
In London neighbourhoods like Ashburton, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Materials, one by one
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
The process
If we find more than expected, or something different, we stop and talk to you, before changing the plan. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we’ll do before we start. In winter, the light goes in Ashburton by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
- We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
- We remove the material with controls to keep fibres down
- We clean up, dispose of the waste legally and send the consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Your options compared
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

For businesses and landlords in Ashburton

Questions from Ashburton
Can you work in Ashburton with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do older homes in Ashburton have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Ashburton may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor jobs do not usually affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
