Asbestos removal in Baker's Wood
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. People often contact us about Artex before plastering and asbestos found during building work, involving water tanks, floor tiles and flue pipes.
Rural removal near Baker's Wood can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Materials, one by one
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is generally well bound.
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
Why people call us in Baker's Wood
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
In older properties, we often see:
- Old flues
- Debris left from a previous job
- Materials found mid-project
- Artex before plastering
For non-domestic buildings like Denham Village School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- What paperwork you get
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
Afterwards
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, because the plan may need to change.
To avoid problems in future:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Let us know where we can park
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- File the consignment note
Things not to do
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
