Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, typically tightly bound.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Typical removal jobs in Ospringe
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, though in good condition it does not always need to go.
These are some of the things we deal with in Ospringe:
- Artex before plastering
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Old flues
In older properties in Ospringe, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.

Ospringe: your questions answered
How far is Ospringe from London?
Ospringe is about 44 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in Ospringe contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Ospringe may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can typically stay put. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
What happens to the waste?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.
