Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
What happens next
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, as the method may need to change.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Tell us about parking and access
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Don’ts
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Catmore questions
How far is Catmore from London?
Catmore is about 54 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover small places like Catmore?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Catmore?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
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. Cement and textured coatings generally are not licensed.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.

Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Which option is right?
Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.

- Legal disposal, with paperwork

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
