Asbestos removal in Hook Common
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. People often contact us about Artex before plastering and old cold water tanks, including textured coatings, flue pipes and cement roof sheets.
In Hook Common, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Where asbestos turns up
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Materials found mid-project
- Old waste on site
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Cement flues and gutters
In older properties in Hook Common, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Before booking anyone
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work

Can you quote from photos?

Which asbestos work needs a licence?

How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.

When we quote, we look at:
