Asbestos removal in Finmere
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. Whether it’s flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and Artex before plastering, we cover gutters and downpipes, flue pipes and cement soffits and more.
Rural removal near Finmere 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.

What it might be made of
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
What we deal with in Finmere
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, although sound material can often stay.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Debris left from a previous job
- Asbestos garages
- Textured coatings
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
In a school like Finmere Church of England Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
Before booking anyone
- Suitable insurance for the work
- What category of work it is
- The documents you’ll receive
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
Which option is right?
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Why us?
- Domestic and commercial work
- Across London and the South East
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory

What happens next
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, as the method may need to change.
After we have finished:
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Send photos of the material and the access
- File the consignment note
Things not to do
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Finmere questions
How far is Finmere from London?
We cover Finmere, about 54 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Finmere homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Finmere can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.

Can I do it myself?

Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
