Asbestos removal in Cop Street
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 materials include textured coatings, cement soffits and gutters and downpipes, and people usually contact us about garage roofs and whole garages and old floor tiles and black adhesive.
In towns and villages like Cop Street, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you manage or own a block in Cop Street, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Looking after things afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, for anyone working there later.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Let us know where we can park
- File the consignment note
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Avoid these
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.

Questions from Cop Street
Do you come out to small villages like Cop Street?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How far is Cop Street from London?
Cop Street is about 61 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What it might be made of
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with sanders or grinders.

Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Cop Street
Damage from DIY, storms or accidents can make removal necessary.
In older properties, we often see:
- Materials found mid-project
- Cement flues and gutters
