How asbestos removal works in Bassett Green
You don’t always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will tell you honestly when that’s the case. We often deal with floor tiles, cement soffits and textured coatings, and typical jobs are asbestos found during building work and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes.
Properties in towns and villages like Bassett Green with larger plots may have several outbuildings with cement roofs. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Bassett Green questions
Is asbestos common in Bassett Green homes?
Any home in Bassett Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Bassett Green from London?
We cover Bassett Green, about 68 miles from central London.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do I need to move out?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What does removal cost?
Every job is priced individually: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Good to know
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and does not cover:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Every quote reflects:
- The quantity or area
- Access to the area
- Material and condition
- How many samples are needed
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
What to photograph
A few photos can save a site visit:
- A picture of the whole area
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Cracks or breaks
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
What it might be made of
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Step by step
We unfix materials and take them out in whole pieces where we can, never broken up, dropped or cut with power tools. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first before carrying on. In winter, the light goes in Bassett Green by about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Send us the postcode and photos
- We work out what category the work falls into
- We book the work and notify if required
- We set up the work area and remove the material
- The waste goes to a permitted site with a consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Warn neighbours if needed

Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Typical removal jobs in Bassett Green
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Cement flues and gutters
- Artex before plastering
- Asbestos garages
- Loft water tanks
For non-domestic buildings like Bassett Green Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
