What else we do in Hinchley Wood
Common reasons for removal jobs in Hinchley Wood
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is when removal comes up.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Old waste on site
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Asbestos garages
- Artex ceilings before renovation
In older properties in Hinchley Wood, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.
What your quote should include
- The method and controls
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- What category of work it is
What happens next
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, because the plan may need to change.
Going forward:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Things not to do
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Choosing the right option
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Every quote says whether VAT is included.

Questions from Hinchley Wood
How far is Hinchley Wood from London?
We cover Hinchley Wood, about 13 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Hinchley Wood homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can I stay at home during removal?
For outdoor jobs, you can typically stay put. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.

Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
Prices and what affects them
Our quotes take into account:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The survey scope
- Material and condition
- The size of the job
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Photos that help
Photos often save us a visit:
- Where we could park
- A picture of the whole area
- Labels, if any
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you’re planning. Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
The process
We unfix materials and take them out in whole pieces where we can, never broken up, dropped or cut with power tools. The work area is kept clear while we are working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. In winter, the light goes in Hinchley Wood by about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
