About our asbestos removal in Cranbrook

Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Cranbrook
Could my house in Cranbrook contain asbestos?
If your home in Cranbrook was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Cranbrook despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can typically stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Places near Cranbrook
For businesses and landlords in Cranbrook
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
What we deal with in Cranbrook
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Old waste on site
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Cement flues and gutters
In older properties in Cranbrook, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Your options compared
