What we deal with in Blue Town
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Old waste on site
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
In older buildings across Blue Town, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.
What your quote should include

Before you book, note that:

Your questions about asbestos removal in Blue Town
How far is Blue Town from London?
Blue Town is about 37 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in Blue Town homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
