Common questions in Lewknor
Do you cover small places like Lewknor?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Lewknor from London?
We cover Lewknor, about 39 miles from central London.
How can I get a price?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs do not generally affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.

Responsibilities for owners

If your business premises in Lewknor were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
A closer look at the materials
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is normally well bound.
Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Avoid these
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
How it works
Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, ready to go to a permitted site. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away. In winter, the light goes in Lewknor by about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

- We agree a date and any notification needed
- We set up the work area and remove the material

Before we arrive
