Asbestos removal for Margery properties
Every removal job in Margery is planned first: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified. People often contact us about flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and loft water tanks, including cement soffits, cement roof sheets and flue pipes.
In towns and villages like Margery, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Margery
Could my house in Margery contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Margery can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Margery from London?
Margery is about 17 miles from central London, well within our area.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It doesn’t always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Materials we deal with
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with sanders or grinders.
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
Responsibilities for owners
If you manage or own a block in Margery, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

What to avoid
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.

Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
