Asbestos removal near Grateley
Asbestos removal near Grateley
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. We often deal with cement soffits, gutters and downpipes and textured coatings, and people generally contact us about Artex before plastering and asbestos garages.

Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
In older properties, we often see:
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Materials found mid-project
- Cement flues and gutters
- Asbestos garages
In older buildings across Grateley, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.

Common questions in Grateley
How far is Grateley from London?
Grateley is about 69 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover small places like Grateley?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings generally are not licensed.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.

Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
