Asbestos removal for Foxbury properties
If your builder has found suspect material in Foxbury, stop work in that area and keep people away. We’ll identify it and plan what happens next. From asbestos found during building work and debris left from a previous job, we deal with gutters and downpipes, flue pipes and textured coatings.
Removal jobs around Foxbury often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Looking after things afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, so future trades know about it.
Once we’re done:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Share any survey or test results
- Photos of the material and the route in help
What to avoid
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Which option is right?
Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why people choose us
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- No removal until we know what it is

Your questions about asbestos removal in Foxbury
Can you work in Foxbury with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Could my house in Foxbury contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Foxbury can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
What does removal cost?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
For businesses and landlords in Foxbury
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.

DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with sanders or grinders.
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
