Asbestos removal in Fingest
Materials we deal with

Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Asbestos removal near Fingest
Removal is planned, not improvised: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed, before anyone starts. Typical jobs include Artex ceilings before renovation and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos, involving cement soffits, cement roof sheets and flue pipes.
In places like Fingest, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

What else we do in Fingest
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If your business premises in Fingest were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Weighing up your options
What kind of work is it? It depends on what the material is and what’s being done. See our guide to the three categories. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

Looking after things afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
Keeping things safe:
- Let us know where we can park
- Book the replacement before removal
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
What to avoid
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

Questions from Fingest
Do you cover Fingest from London?
We cover Fingest, about 35 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like Fingest?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Cement and textured coatings are generally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What does removal cost?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. Every job gets a written quote.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Fingest
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Floor tiles before a new floor
In a school like Cadmore End CofE School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
