How asbestos removal works in Richings Park
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, and you get the waste paperwork. From garage roof sheets and finds during refurbishment, we deal with gutters and downpipes, flue pipes and floor tiles.
Rural removal near Richings Park can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Helpful guides
Weighing up your options
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

Materials, one by one
Water tanks and flues
A Gas Safe engineer disconnects any gas appliance first.
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Where asbestos turns up
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
These are some of the things we deal with in Richings Park:
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Cement flues and gutters
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
In a school like The Langley Heritage Primary, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
What your quote should include
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
What it costs
When we quote, we look at:
- Material and condition
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The size of the job
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Our quotes are clear about VAT.
Helping us quote
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Damaged areas
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- The access route
- Where we could park
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
What happens next
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.
Some practical advice:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Things not to do
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
