Asbestos removal for Childs Hill
How asbestos removal works in Childs Hill
Removal isn’t always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll tell you honestly when that is the case. Typical materials include cement roof sheets, cement soffits and textured coatings, and typical jobs are Artex ceilings before renovation and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes.
In towns and villages like Childs Hill, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
After we’ve finished in Childs Hill
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
After we’ve finished:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Share any survey or test results
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Materials, one by one
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
FAQs for Childs Hill
Do older homes in Childs Hill have asbestos?
If your home in Childs Hill was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you work in Childs Hill with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Childs Hill?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
