Asbestos removal near Crowell
You don’t always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will tell you honestly when that’s the case. From sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and asbestos garages, we cover textured coatings, cement roof sheets and water tanks and more.
In Crowell, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Choosing the right option
Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Crowell, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Where asbestos turns up
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Cement water tanks in lofts
Older buildings in Crowell, near Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
Comparing quotes
- Any exclusions
- Suitable insurance for the work
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
What we do and do not cover
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it does not:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is usually separate

FAQs for Crowell
Do older homes in Crowell have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Crowell may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can I stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
