How asbestos removal works in Colden Common
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Typical jobs include Artex before plastering and materials found mid-project, including flue pipes, textured coatings and cement soffits.
In areas like Colden Common, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, with access through the garden or drive. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Questions from Colden Common
Do you cover Colden Common from London?
Colden Common is about 63 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in Colden Common contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note as your record.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Colden Common?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
The process
We start by setting up and segregating the work area, and keep the material wet as we work. Parking close by makes the day easier, so let us know about any restrictions. We plan outdoor jobs in Colden Common to finish before dark: that means by about 4:00pm in December, or about 9:25pm in June.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- We test it if needed and plan the job
- We send a quote covering the work and the waste
- We remove it with controls to keep fibres down
- We clean up and send you the waste paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Keep the area clear of children and pets

Materials we deal with
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, generally tightly bound.
What we deal with in Colden Common
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
These come up again and again:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Asbestos found during building work
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Old flues
For non-domestic buildings like Colden Common Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Whether the job needs notifying
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples

Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Avoid these
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- What the material is and its state
- Disposal costs
- The number of samples or the size of the building
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
What we do and don’t cover
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
