Asbestos removal for Mortimer West End
Asbestos removal near Mortimer West End
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, with a consignment note for your records. Typical jobs include Artex before plastering and old waste on site, involving flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and cement roof sheets.
Rural removal near Mortimer West End can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Where asbestos turns up
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it does not always need to go.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Finds during refurbishment
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Debris left from a previous job
In older properties in Mortimer West End, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.
Questions to ask before booking
- Suitable insurance for the work
- If the price includes VAT
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- What is not included
Which option is right?
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Common questions in Mortimer West End
Do you cover Mortimer West End and the area around Mortimer station?
Yes. Mortimer station is about 2.4 miles east of Mortimer West End, and we cover both.
Do you cover Mortimer West End from London?
Mortimer West End is about 44 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that won’t be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Looking after things afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
Keeping things safe:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Book the replacement before removal
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Things not to do
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
