How asbestos removal works in Norham Manor

Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Whether it’s vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and Artex ceilings before renovation, we cover cement soffits, flue pipes and water tanks.

Properties in places like Norham Manor with larger plots may have several outbuildings with cement roofs, which can often be dealt with together. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Materials, one by one

Textured coatings

We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.

Questions from Norham Manor

How far is Norham Manor from London?

Norham Manor is about 53 miles from central London, well within our area.

Do you work near Oxford station?

Yes, we cover Norham Manor and the area towards Oxford station, about 1 mile south-west.

Could my home contain asbestos?

Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.

How do I get a quote?

Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.

Which asbestos work needs a licence?

Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.

How quickly can you come out?

Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.

Can you help with a flat?

We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.

Do you test before removing asbestos in Norham Manor?

Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.

Which option is right?

Licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed? It depends on what the material is and what’s being done. Our guide explains the difference, with links to HSE’s pages. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.

Why us?

  • Covering London and the South East
  • Houses, flats and business premises
  • Written quotes that say what’s included
  • Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory

See our prices page or our cost guide.

Limits to be aware of

A few things to be aware of:

  • Making good is normally a separate job
  • Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
  • Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

What we deal with

  • Garage and shed roofs
  • Asbestos cement sheets
  • Gutters and downpipes
  • Soffits (cement)
  • Panels and boards
  • Floor tiles and adhesive
  • Bitumen roof felt
  • Artex and textured coatings
  • Water tanks
  • Flue pipes
