About our asbestos removal in Capel Cross
Removal is not always the answer. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will tell you honestly when that is the case. People often contact us about outbuildings with cement roofs and garage roof sheets, including water tanks, floor tiles and gutters and downpipes.
In towns and villages like Capel Cross, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Common questions in Capel Cross
Do you cover Capel Cross from London?
Capel Cross is about 34 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Capel Cross have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Capel Cross may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.

DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
The process
Our team uses disposable coveralls and respiratory protection, and nobody else enters the work area. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing. We plan outdoor jobs in Capel Cross to finish before dark: that means by about 3:55pm in December, or about 9:15pm in June.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- We identify it if needed and plan the method
