College Town: your questions answered
Do you work near Blackwater station?
Yes. Blackwater station is about 0.7 miles south of College Town, and we cover both.
Could my house in College Town contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
How it works
Unexpected materials mean we pause and discuss, rather than carrying on regardless. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you before carrying on. We plan outdoor jobs in College Town to finish before dark: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:25pm.
- Share photos, the postcode and any survey or test you have
- We confirm what the material is and what category of work it falls into
- A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can
- Everything is cleaned up, and the waste paperwork follows
How to prepare
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Mention any parking restrictions
Ask for a quote
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.

Which option is right?
What kind of work is it? It depends on what the material is and what’s being done. See our guide to the three categories. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Why choose us
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Accredited laboratory results
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Clear written quotes
See how we quote or our cost guide.
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Typical removal jobs in College Town
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, although sound material can often stay.
These come up again and again:
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Asbestos found during building work
- Textured coatings
- Loft water tanks
Landlords near Blackwater station often time removal for when a property is empty.
