How asbestos removal works in Barnes Cray
Removal is planned, not improvised: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed. Whether it’s asbestos garages and materials found mid-project, we deal with flue pipes, textured coatings and floor tiles and more.
In places like Barnes Cray, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, reached through gardens and drives. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

A closer look at the materials
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
What it costs
When we quote, we look at:
- How many samples are needed
- How much waste there is
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- What the material is and its state
Every quote says whether VAT is included.
Photos that help
For a quick quote, include:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A clear close-up
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

Afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is usually a separate job, so plan it in advance.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Let us know where we can park
- Book the replacement before removal
What to avoid
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
The process
If we find more than expected, or something different, we stop and talk to you, before changing the plan. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions. In winter, the light goes in Barnes Cray by about 3:50pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
