Typical removal jobs in Monkwood
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Cement flues and gutters
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Textured coatings
In older buildings across Monkwood, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.
What your quote should include
- The scope of the job, in writing
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Whether the job needs notifying
How it works
Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site. It helps if we can park nearby. In winter, the light goes in Monkwood by about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- We test the material if needed
- We plan the job and send a written quote
- On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
- We clean up, dispose of the waste legally and send the consignment note
How to prepare
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Tell us about parking and access
- Mention any damage before we arrive

For businesses and landlords in Monkwood
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Which option is right?
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Why us?
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations

FAQs for Monkwood
Do you come out to small villages like Monkwood?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Monkwood from London?
We cover Monkwood, about 51 miles from central London.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
It doesn’t always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Can I stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
After the job
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
What it costs
We base our quote on:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- How much waste there is
- How easy it is to reach
- Location, parking and any London charges
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Sending photos
Helpful photos:
- How we’d reach it
- A clear close-up
- Cracks or breaks
- An idea of size
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
