Questions from Bourne End
Could my house in Bourne End contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Bourne End can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Bourne End and the area around Bourne End station?
Yes, we cover Bourne End, including the streets around Bourne End station.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Materials we see
- Panels and boards
- Artex and textured coatings
- Flue pipes
- Water tanks
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Gutters and downpipes
- Bitumen roof felt
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Soffits (cement)
What we deal with in Bourne End
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Garage roof sheets
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Finds during refurbishment
In older properties in Bourne End, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.
Questions to ask before booking
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
After the job
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, as the method may need to change.
To avoid problems in future:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- File the consignment note
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Book the replacement before removal
What to avoid
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Your options compared
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and disposal still has to be done properly. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
What you get
- Accredited laboratory results
- Clear written quotes
- Covering London and the South East
- Waste paperwork for every removal
