Materials, one by one
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
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.
DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Lower North Dean questions
Do you cover Lower North Dean from London?
Lower North Dean is about 31 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in Lower North Dean contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Lower North Dean?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
What affects the price in Lower North Dean
Prices vary with:
- What the material is and its state
- How easy it is to reach
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The size of the job

What to photograph

- Cracks or breaks
- A rough size or measurement
- A wide shot showing where the material is
Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Where asbestos turns up
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Old cold water tanks
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Asbestos garages
If you let property near Saunderton station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.
