About our asbestos removal in Bishop's Green
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified. From sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles, we cover cement soffits, textured coatings and gutters and downpipes.
In a village like Bishop's Green, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
For businesses and landlords in Bishop's Green
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Bishop's Green
Damage from DIY, storms or accidents can make removal necessary.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Debris left from a previous job
- Old cold water tanks
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Artex ceilings before renovation
For non-domestic buildings like Cheam School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which areas and materials are covered
- What is not included
- How fibres will be kept down
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with power tools.
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Which option is right?
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
