Asbestos help in Cross Lane
What it costs
What drives the price:
- How much there is
- What the material is and its state
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Parking and access charges
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- The parking area
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Visible markings

How asbestos removal works in Cross Lane
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 jobs include old flues and broken sheets in gardens, including water tanks, floor tiles and flue pipes.
In a smaller place like Cross Lane, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, reached through gardens and drives. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Looking after things afterwards
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, as the method may need to change.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Let us know where we can park
- File the consignment note
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
Avoid these
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Common questions in Cross Lane
Could my house in Cross Lane contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need to move out?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
How we work
We start by setting up and segregating the work area, and keep the material wet as we work. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away. In winter, the light goes in Cross Lane by about 4:00pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Cross Lane
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garage roof sheets
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Debris left from a previous job
- Loft water tanks
For non-domestic buildings like Summerfields Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
What your quote should include
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- The scope of the job, in writing
- VAT, clearly stated
- What paperwork you get
Which option is right?
Licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed? The material and the job decide. Our guide explains the difference, with links to HSE’s pages. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
What you get
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Clear written quotes
- Covering London and the South East
- Waste paperwork for every removal

- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
