About our asbestos removal in Cogges
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, and you get the waste paperwork. Typical materials include gutters and downpipes, cement roof sheets and cement soffits, and people generally contact us about Artex before plastering and outbuildings with cement roofs.
In towns and villages like Cogges, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, with access through the garden or drive. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Cogges: your questions answered
Do older homes in Cogges 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 Cogges can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Cogges from London?
Cogges is about 62 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
How can I get a price?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Cogges must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Prices and what affects them
Our quotes take into account:
- Material and condition
- The category of work
- Access to the area
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.
Photos that help
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- Street parking nearby
- A rough size or measurement
- Visible markings
- Cracks or breaks
Every job is quoted in writing. Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749 with the details.
DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
