About our asbestos removal in Gillette Corner
Every removal job in Gillette Corner is planned first: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. We often deal with flue pipes, water tanks and textured coatings, and typical jobs are cement water tanks in lofts and garage roofs and whole garages.
In towns and villages like Gillette Corner, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Gillette Corner
Do you work in Gillette Corner despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do older homes in Gillette Corner have asbestos?
Any home in Gillette Corner built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
How we work
If we find more than expected, or something different, we stop and talk to you, rather than carrying on regardless. The work area is kept clear while we’re working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. We plan outdoor jobs in Gillette Corner to finish before dark: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We confirm what the material is and what category of work it falls into
- A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal
- On the agreed date we set up the work area and remove the material carefully
- We clean the area and send the consignment note
Before we arrive
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell us about parking and access

What we do and do not cover
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it does not:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning

How we price asbestos removal
What changes the cost:
- The quantity or area
- How much waste there is
- How easy it is to reach
- What the material is and its state
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Sending photos
To help us quote quickly, send:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Visible markings
- A photo of the whole area
- The access route
You will get a written quote. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
Afterwards
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Book the replacement before removal
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Things not to do
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Which option is right?
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
Why us?
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Identify first, remove only when needed

What it might be made of
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
