Asbestos removal for Calcott
Asbestos removal for Calcott properties
Higher-risk materials such as pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We’ll explain what applies to your job in Calcott. Common materials are flue pipes, water tanks and textured coatings, and typical jobs are old cold water tanks and old waste on site.
Rural removal near Calcott can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

FAQs for Calcott
Do you work near Sturry station?
Yes, we cover Calcott and the area towards Sturry station, about 1.5 miles south.
Could my house in Calcott contain asbestos?
Any home in Calcott built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can I stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
How we price asbestos removal
We base our quote on:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The size of the job

Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What to avoid
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.

We remove them without cutting with power tools.

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
