Asbestos removal near Mackney
We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across Mackney: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Every job is planned to HSE guidance, with the waste taken to a permitted site. Typical materials include water tanks, flue pipes and cement roof sheets, and people normally contact us about old sheds and coal bunkers and textured coatings.
Rural removal near Mackney can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Prices and what affects them
What drives the price:
- Access to the area
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Location, parking and any London charges
The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Sending photos
What to photograph:
- Street parking nearby
- Labels, if any
- An overall view
- How we’d reach it
For a quote, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.
Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Mackney
Do you cover small places like Mackney?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work near Cholsey station?
Yes, we cover Mackney and the area towards Cholsey station, about 2.4 miles south.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
