How asbestos removal works in Lower Earley
Found asbestos during building work in Lower Earley? Work should stop there and people kept out. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. People often contact us about cement flues and gutters and asbestos found during building work, involving cement soffits, flue pipes and floor tiles.
Properties in places like Lower Earley with larger plots can have more than one cement-roofed building, which can often be dealt with together. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Duty holders and landlords in Lower Earley
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.

- How much waste there is

Do you cover Lower Earley from London?

Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.

Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Lower Earley?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.

DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
