Asbestos removal in Bishopsgate
You do not always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will tell you honestly when that is the case. Whether it’s debris left from a previous job and Artex before plastering, we cover gutters and downpipes, cement roof sheets and floor tiles.
In a village like Bishopsgate, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

FAQs for Bishopsgate
Do you work near Egham station?
Yes. Egham station is about 1.8 miles east of Bishopsgate, and we cover both.
Could my house in Bishopsgate contain asbestos?
If your home in Bishopsgate was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
It doesn’t always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
How we price asbestos removal
What changes the cost:
- Travel and parking
- How easy it is to reach
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The category of work
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- A rough size or measurement
- Cracks or breaks
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- The parking area
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you’re planning. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you run a business from older premises in Bishopsgate, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with power tools.
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Afterwards
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, because the plan may need to change.
Keeping things safe:
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Photos of the material and the route in help
What to avoid
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Weighing up your options
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Why people call us in Bishopsgate
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Old cold water tanks
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Debris left from a previous job
For non-domestic buildings like St John's Beaumont School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
