About our asbestos removal in Eastbury
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified. People often contact us about old waste on site and outbuildings with cement roofs, including cement roof sheets, cement soffits and water tanks.
In a village like Eastbury, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Good to know
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Flue pipes
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Bitumen roof felt
- Water tanks
- Panels and boards
- Gutters and downpipes
- Soffits (cement)
Step by step
Materials are released carefully and removed whole where possible, never broken up, dropped or cut with power tools. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. Outdoor removal in Eastbury is planned to finish in daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:25pm.

Helpful guides
Weighing up your options
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Every quote says whether VAT is included.
Why people choose us
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Across London and the South East
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it

Why people call us in Eastbury
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
These come up again and again:
- Loft water tanks
- Garage roof sheets
- Textured coatings
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
Older buildings in Eastbury, near Church of St James or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.
Before you book anyone
- The documents you will receive
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
What happens next
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Once we are done:
- Share any survey or test results
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell us about parking and access
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
Don’ts
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Eastbury questions
Do you cover small places like Eastbury?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How far is Eastbury from London?
Eastbury is about 60 miles from central London, well within our area.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Prices and what affects them
What drives the price:
- Access to the area
- The survey scope
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Material and condition
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
What to photograph
Photo tips:
- The access route
- A picture of the whole area
- An idea of size
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
