Helpful guides
Asbestos removal for Coxford properties
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. Typical jobs include old waste on site and old cold water tanks, involving gutters and downpipes, textured coatings and cement roof sheets.
Homes in Coxford with bigger gardens can have more than one cement-roofed building, which can often be dealt with together. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Materials, one by one
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is usually well bound.
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
What happens next
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Let us know where we can park
What to avoid
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Common questions in Coxford
Do you work near Redbridge station?
Yes. Redbridge station is about 1.6 miles south-west of Coxford, and we cover both.
Do you cover Coxford from London?
We cover Coxford, about 70 miles from central London.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Should you do it yourself?
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.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
