Asbestos removal near Mark Cross
Asbestos removal near Mark Cross
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. We often deal with cement soffits, water tanks and textured coatings, and typical jobs are garage roofs and whole garages and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos.
In places like Mark Cross, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
After we’ve finished in Mark Cross
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it proves legal disposal.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Avoid these
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.

FAQs for Mark Cross
Is asbestos common in Mark Cross homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Mark Cross?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How do I get a quote?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Mark Cross?
Every job is priced individually: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
