Asbestos help in Loughton
How asbestos removal works in Loughton
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. We often deal with cement soffits, water tanks and textured coatings, and people normally contact us about old floor tiles and black adhesive and cement flues and gutters.
Homes in Loughton with bigger gardens can have more than one cement-roofed building, which can often be dealt with together. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

FAQs for Loughton
Do you cover Loughton from London?
We cover Loughton, about 47 miles from central London.
Could my house in Loughton contain asbestos?
Any home in Loughton built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What does removal cost?
There is no fixed price: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.

Choosing the right option
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is generally right. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.

Duty holders and landlords in Loughton
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
What it costs
Our quotes take into account:
- Travel and parking
- The type of material and its condition
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
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.
Sending photos
Photos often save us a visit:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Damaged areas
- An idea of size
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
After the job
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is usually a separate job, so plan it in advance.
To avoid problems in future:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let us know where we can park
What to avoid
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
