Where asbestos turns up
Damage from DIY, storms or accidents can make removal necessary.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Old cold water tanks
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Broken sheets in gardens
In older properties in Lordswood, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.

About our asbestos removal in Lordswood
Removal is planned, not improvised: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed. From finds during refurbishment and old waste on site, we deal with textured coatings, cement soffits and gutters and downpipes.
In a smaller place like Lordswood, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, reached through gardens and drives. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

What else we do in Lordswood

A few things to be aware of:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor

If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

- Gutters and downpipes
- Soffits (cement)

Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
