A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
For businesses and landlords in Golden Cross
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Golden Cross must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
What affects the price in Golden Cross
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:
- How easy it is to reach
- How much there is

What it might be made of
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with power tools.
Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
