Asbestos removal for Gerrards Cross properties
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. From Artex before plastering and old sheds and coal bunkers, we cover floor tiles, cement soffits and water tanks.

Afterwards
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
Avoid these
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Common questions in Gerrards Cross
How far is Gerrards Cross from London?
We cover Gerrards Cross, about 21 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Gerrards Cross homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Can I stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
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.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Gerrards Cross?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. We quote each job individually.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
For businesses and landlords in Gerrards Cross
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Gerrards Cross, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Gerrards Cross
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
These come up again and again:
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Textured coatings
- Cement flues and gutters
- Loft water tanks
At a school such as The Gerrards Cross CofE School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.

Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
