Your questions about asbestos removal in Furnace Green
How far is Furnace Green from London?
We cover Furnace Green, about 28 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Furnace Green have asbestos?
If your home in Furnace Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
How do I get a quote?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What happens to the waste?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Not always. Cement and textured coatings are typically non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Asbestos removal near Furnace Green
Removal isn’t always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will say so. Common materials are flue pipes, water tanks and gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are broken sheets in gardens and outbuildings with cement roofs.
In a smaller place like Furnace Green, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, reached through gardens and drives. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Furnace Green
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Artex before plastering
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Garage roof sheets
- Debris left from a previous job
In a school like Brook Infant School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.

Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
After we’ve finished in Furnace Green
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Photos of the material and the route in help
Avoid these
