For businesses and landlords in Drayton
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
For managing agents and freeholders in Drayton, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Drayton
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
These are some of the things we deal with in Drayton:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Cement flues and gutters
- Textured coatings
- Asbestos found during building work
If you let property near Appleford station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.

Options to consider in Drayton
Remove, or leave and manage? 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 in the way of work, removal is generally right. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why us?
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Covering London and the South East
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing

How we price asbestos removal
The cost depends on:
- Material and condition
- The category of work
- How many samples are needed
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Helping us quote
When you send photos, these help most:
- Labels, if any
- A clear close-up
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Approximate dimensions
Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Looking after things afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, for anyone working there later.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell us about parking and access
- Send photos of the material and the access
Don’ts
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
