How asbestos removal works in Claygate Cross
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Whether it’s Artex before plastering and garage roof sheets, we cover textured coatings, flue pipes and gutters and downpipes.
In a village like Claygate Cross, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Questions from Claygate Cross
Do older homes in Claygate Cross have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Claygate Cross can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Claygate Cross from London?

My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What happens to the waste?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
Does someone need to be there?
