Asbestos removal near Blacklands
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, and you get the waste paperwork. From old sheds and coal bunkers and asbestos garages, we deal with textured coatings, floor tiles and water tanks and more.
Properties in places like Blacklands with larger plots can have more than one cement-roofed building. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
After we’ve finished in Blacklands
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
Avoid these
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.

DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Blacklands: your questions answered
How far is Blacklands from London?
Blacklands is about 53 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in Blacklands contain asbestos?
If your home in Blacklands was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Blacklands?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor jobs do not typically affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.
What happens to the waste?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Why people call us in Blacklands
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is when removal comes up.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Artex before plastering
- Loft water tanks
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Old flues
In older buildings across Blacklands, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.

We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away. In winter, the light goes in Blacklands by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
