Asbestos removal in Crouch
Asbestos removal near Crouch
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. People often contact us about textured coatings and debris left from a previous job, including gutters and downpipes, cement soffits and floor tiles.
In Crouch, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. We only recommend work that’s needed.

What happens next
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it in advance.
Some practical advice:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Avoid these
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.

Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
Responsibilities for owners
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Crouch questions
Do you cover small places like Crouch?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in Crouch have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What does removal cost?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. Every job gets a written quote.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are generally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Where asbestos turns up
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Finds during refurbishment
- Garage roof sheets
In a school like Boughton-under-Blean and Dunkirk Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
