Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with power tools.
What we deal with in Lake End
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Finds during refurbishment
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Loft water tanks
Landlords near Burnham station often time removal for when a property is empty.

Afterwards
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Share any survey or test results
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Avoid these
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.

Common questions in Lake End
Do older homes in Lake End have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Lake End from London?
Lake End is about 24 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can I stay at home during removal?
For outdoor jobs, you can generally stay put. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Which option is right?
Should it come out? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
