Why people call us in Forest Green
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
If you let property near Ockley station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.

DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Weighing up your options
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
