About our asbestos removal in Plaxtol
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, with a consignment note for your records. Whether it’s asbestos found during building work and asbestos garages, we deal with gutters and downpipes, water tanks and textured coatings.
In a village like Plaxtol, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:

Looking after things afterwards
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, because the plan may need to change.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Keep children and pets away on the day
What to avoid
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

What it might be made of
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with sanders or grinders.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Weighing up your options
Should it come out? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning

Plaxtol questions
Is asbestos common in Plaxtol homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Plaxtol can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Plaxtol from London?
We cover Plaxtol, about 24 miles from central London.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Cement and textured coatings are usually non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Do you cover Plaxtol?
Yes, we do: our area includes Plaxtol and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- How easy it is to reach
- How many samples are needed
- The type of material and its condition
Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
Photos that help
What to photograph:
- A clear close-up
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Where we could park
- A wide shot showing where the material is
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.
