How asbestos removal works in Lower Cox Street
In homes, in Lower Cox Street as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. Work on these is generally non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. From old sheds and coal bunkers and cement flues and gutters, we deal with gutters and downpipes, cement roof sheets and flue pipes and more.
Rural removal near Lower Cox Street can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Lower Cox Street: your questions answered
How far is Lower Cox Street from London?
We cover Lower Cox Street, about 32 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Lower Cox Street have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.

- Work done to the regulations

- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in Lower Cox Street were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is usually well bound.
After we have finished in Lower Cox Street
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, because the plan may need to change.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- File the consignment note
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Don’ts
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
