What else we do in Cheapside
For businesses and landlords in Cheapside
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Your options compared
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Why choose us
- Clear written quotes
- Reports and results you can share
- Domestic and commercial work
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
Take a look at our prices page or published price ranges.
A closer look at the materials
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.

What’s included, and what is not
Before you book, note that:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Cheapside
Is asbestos common in Cheapside homes?
Any home in Cheapside built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Cheapside?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are typically non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
