Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Which option is right?
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Common questions in Crockhurst Street
Do older homes in Crockhurst Street have asbestos?
If your home in Crockhurst Street was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Crockhurst Street from London?
Crockhurst Street is about 29 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Sometimes: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Crockhurst Street?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Duty holders and landlords in Crockhurst Street
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
