Asbestos removal near Preston
Every removal job in Preston is planned first: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. From finds during refurbishment and garage roofs and whole garages, we cover gutters and downpipes, floor tiles and textured coatings and more.
In London neighbourhoods like Preston, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. We only recommend work that is needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Preston questions
Could my house in Preston contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Preston and the area around South Kenton station?
Yes. South Kenton station is about 0.6 miles west of Preston, and we cover both.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.

It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and does not cover:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Preston must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Afterwards
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
Going forward:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Avoid these
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
