Asbestos removal near Grubb Street
Your questions about asbestos removal in Grubb Street
Do you work near Longfield station?
Yes. Longfield station is about 1 mile south-east of Grubb Street, and we cover both.
Do you cover Grubb Street from London?
We cover Grubb Street, about 17 miles from central London.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Grubb Street?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Asbestos removal for Grubb Street properties
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical jobs include old floor tiles and black adhesive and old waste on site, including flue pipes, textured coatings and water tanks.
In areas like Grubb Street, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Don’ts
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.

Duty holders and landlords in Grubb Street
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.

Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
What we do and do not cover
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is usually separate
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.

- Panels and boards
- Gutters and downpipes

Choosing the right option
Remove, or leave and manage? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
