Asbestos removal in Capel
About our asbestos removal in Capel
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Common materials are gutters and downpipes, textured coatings and flue pipes, and people normally contact us about cement flues and gutters and Artex before plastering.
Rural removal near Capel can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

What happens
We unfix materials and take them out in whole pieces where we can, without breaking, dropping or power tools. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away. In winter, the light goes in Capel by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

Questions from Capel
Do you cover Capel from London?
Capel is about 29 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover small places like Capel?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Capel?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.
What happens to the waste?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
How do I get a quote?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Choosing the right option
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, rather than halting work when it’s found. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
How we work in Capel
- Domestic and commercial work
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Work done to the regulations
- Records for your files
See our prices page and published price ranges.
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
