Do you cover Rock-a-Nore and the area around Ore station?

How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can I stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Asbestos removal in Rock-a-Nore
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. We often deal with textured coatings, gutters and downpipes and cement soffits, and people typically contact us about old cold water tanks and asbestos garages.
In areas like Rock-a-Nore, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, reached through gardens and drives. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

Typical removal jobs in Rock-a-Nore
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
These are some of the things we deal with in Rock-a-Nore:
- Finds during refurbishment
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
Older buildings in Rock-a-Nore, near Ebenezer Particular Baptist Chapel or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.
What your quote should include
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- The method and controls
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
Afterwards
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
To avoid problems in future:
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell us about parking and access
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
What to avoid
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
What it costs
Our quotes take into account:
- How many samples are needed
- Material and condition
- Parking and access charges
- Access to the area
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Photos that help
The most useful photos are:
- The access route
- Cracks or breaks
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Labels, if any
Each job is priced individually. To start, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
What’s included, and what isn’t
We are upfront about what’s included:
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

For landlords, agents and businesses
