About our asbestos removal in Murcott
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. From Artex before plastering and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles, we cover gutters and downpipes, cement soffits and textured coatings and more.
In places like Murcott, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Questions from Murcott
How far is Murcott from London?
We cover Murcott, about 51 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Murcott have asbestos?
If your home in Murcott was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What happens
Unexpected materials mean we pause and discuss, before changing the plan. It helps if we can park nearby. In winter, the light goes in Murcott by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Send us the postcode and photos
- We check whether it’s licensed, notifiable or non-licensed work
- We agree a date and any notification needed
- On the day we set up, remove and bag the material
- The waste goes to a permitted site with a consignment note
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Let us know if something’s broken

Looking after things afterwards
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Keeping things safe:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
What to avoid
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Which option is right?
Licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed? The material and the job decide. Our guide explains the difference, with links to HSE’s pages. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Why people choose us
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Across London and the South East

What it might be made of
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Where asbestos turns up
Damage from DIY, storms or accidents can make removal necessary, especially if broken material is lying around.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Textured coatings
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Materials found mid-project
- Garage roofs and whole garages
In older buildings across Murcott, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.
Before booking anyone
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed

- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
