Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
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.
What happens next
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
After we have finished:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell us about parking and access
Don’ts
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.

- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is normally separate

Your questions about asbestos removal in Latimer
How far is Latimer from London?
Latimer is about 23 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Latimer have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Latimer can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
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?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.

Why people call us in Latimer
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Old cold water tanks
- Cement flues and gutters
- Textured coatings
Older buildings in Latimer, near Church of St Mary Magdalene or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.
