Asbestos removal for Eastwood
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Asbestos removal in Eastwood
In homes, in Eastwood as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. Work on these is typically non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, which still means proper controls. Typical jobs include floor tiles before a new floor and outbuildings with cement roofs, involving water tanks, floor tiles and cement soffits.
Rural removal near Eastwood can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

When we quote, we look at:
- Travel and parking
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The number of samples or the size of the building

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 disposal still has to be done properly. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Why choose us
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Work done to the regulations
- Records for your files
Read our prices page and the cost guide.
Looking after things afterwards
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Share any survey or test results
Don’ts
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.

DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with power tools.
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Eastwood questions
Do you cover small places like Eastwood?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Eastwood from London?
We cover Eastwood, about 38 miles from central London.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note as your record.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
