Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Prices and what affects them
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- How much waste there is
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Material and condition
- The number of samples or the size of the building
A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Chelwood Gate
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Asbestos garages
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
In older properties in Chelwood Gate, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.

How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can usually stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.

It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
