After we’ve finished in Mortimer
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Send photos of the material and the access

- Share any survey or test results

Things not to do
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
Step by step
Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, ready to go to a permitted site. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. Late-December sunset in Mortimer is about 4:00pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
- Tell us what needs removing and send photos
- We test the material if needed
- We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
- On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can

Preparing for the visit

Your questions about asbestos removal in Mortimer
Do you cover Mortimer from London?
Mortimer is about 43 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Mortimer have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Mortimer can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
What happens to the waste?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note as your record.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
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.
Duty holders and landlords in Mortimer
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Typical removal jobs in Mortimer
Old materials break down over time: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is when removal comes up.
These are some of the things we deal with in Mortimer:
- Garage roof sheets
- Materials found mid-project
- Old waste on site
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes

What your quote should include
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- What paperwork you get
- The method and controls
How we price asbestos removal
We base our quote on:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How much there is
- The type of material and its condition
- How much waste there is
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A rough size or measurement
- An overall view
- Where we could park
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
Not sure what you need? Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749 and describe the problem, and we will recommend the right option.
