Asbestos removal near Bough Beech
Removal is not always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll tell you honestly when that is the case. Common materials are textured coatings, floor tiles and water tanks, and typical jobs are Artex ceilings before renovation and garage roofs and whole garages.
In towns and villages like Bough Beech, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Bough Beech
Do you cover Bough Beech from London?
Bough Beech is about 23 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in Bough Beech homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Bough Beech may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
