Asbestos removal in Bowmans
Removal is planned, not improvised: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed. We often deal with floor tiles, textured coatings and cement roof sheets, and people typically contact us about garage roof sheets and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles.
Properties in towns and villages like Bowmans with larger plots may have several outbuildings with cement roofs, which can often be dealt with together. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Bowmans: your questions answered
Do you cover Bowmans from London?
We cover Bowmans, about 13 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Bowmans 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.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Bowmans?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
What does removal cost?
Every job is priced individually: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
For businesses and landlords in Bowmans
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Bowmans must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first before carrying on. Late-December sunset in Bowmans is about 3:50pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

What happens next
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, for anyone working there later.
To avoid problems in future:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Photos of the material and the route in help
Things not to do
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Typical removal jobs in Bowmans
Old materials break down over time: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is when removal comes up.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Materials found mid-project
- Loft water tanks
- Garage roof sheets
- Debris left from a previous job
For rentals close to Crayford station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
What’s included, and what isn’t
The usual limits are:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Making good is normally a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Flue pipes
