Asbestos removal in Punnett's Town
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. People often contact us about flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and garage roof sheets, including cement roof sheets, gutters and downpipes and textured coatings.
In Punnett's Town, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

What it might be made of
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Your options compared
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Punnett's Town
How far is Punnett's Town from London?
We cover Punnett's Town, about 41 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Punnett's Town?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
What happens next
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
Keeping things safe:
- File the consignment note
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Tell us about parking and access
Things not to do
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
