Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Materials we deal with
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with power tools.

Common questions in Church Hougham
Is asbestos common in Church Hougham homes?
If your home in Church Hougham 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.
How far is Church Hougham from London?
We cover Church Hougham, about 64 miles from central London.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor jobs do not usually affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Church Hougham?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Church Hougham?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
