Asbestos removal in Lake
You do not always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll say so. Whether it’s vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and garage roofs and whole garages, we cover gutters and downpipes, cement soffits and flue pipes.
In towns and villages like Lake, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, reached through gardens and drives. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
What affects the price in Lake
Prices vary with:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The quantity or area
- How easy it is to reach
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A close-up from a safe distance
- A rough size or measurement
- Where we could park
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 to get started.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you manage or own a block in Lake, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Lake questions
Do you work near Lake station?
Yes. Lake station is close to the centre of Lake, and we cover the whole area.
Do older homes in Lake have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do you work in Lake?
Yes, Lake is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Weighing up your options
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
Why us?
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Reports and results you can share
See our prices page and our cost guide.
What happens next
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is normally a separate job, so plan it in advance.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- File the consignment note
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Let us know where we can park
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Materials, one by one
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, generally tightly bound.
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
The process
Materials are released carefully and removed whole where possible, without breaking, dropping or power tools. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next. We plan outdoor jobs in Lake to finish before dark: in late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:20pm.

- We test it if needed and plan the job
- We send a quote covering the work and the waste
- The material is removed safely
- We clean up and send you the waste paperwork
Preparing for the visit

Common reasons for removal jobs in Lake
Old materials break down over time: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Asbestos garages
- Textured coatings
- Old waste on site
- Asbestos found during building work
Older buildings in Lake, near Church of The Good Shepherd or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.
What your quote should include
- What isn’t included
- Suitable insurance for the work
- VAT, clearly stated
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
