About our asbestos removal in Greywell
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Typical jobs include garage roof sheets and loft water tanks, including cement roof sheets, flue pipes and cement soffits.
In a village like Greywell, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Common questions in Greywell
Do you cover Greywell and the area around Hook station?
Yes, we cover Greywell and the area towards Hook station, about 1.4 miles north.
Could my house in Greywell contain asbestos?
Any home in Greywell built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
What happens to the waste?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Materials, one by one
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is normally well bound.
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
After the job
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Keep children and pets away on the day
What to avoid
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

What else we do in Greywell
Where asbestos turns up
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.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Debris left from a previous job
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
For non-domestic buildings like Robert May's School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
What your quote should include

What we do and do not cover
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and does not cover:
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
