Asbestos removal near Green Street Green
If your builder has found suspect material in Green Street Green, stop work in that area and keep people away. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. From floor tiles before a new floor and finds during refurbishment, we cover floor tiles, cement roof sheets and gutters and downpipes and more.
In towns and villages like Green Street Green, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

After the job
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Keep children and pets away on the day
What to avoid
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Greater London may contain it.
These come up again and again:
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Debris left from a previous job
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
For non-domestic buildings like Green Street Green Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
What to look for in a quote
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- What is not included
- VAT, clearly stated
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
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.
What happens
As each piece comes out, it’s bagged or wrapped and labelled, ready to go to a permitted site. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there’s no confusion. In winter, the light goes in Green Street Green by about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
- We plan the job and send a written quote
- On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
- The area is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out previous surveys
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Let us know where we can park
