Asbestos removal for Roundshaw properties
Removal is not always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll say so. Typical materials include floor tiles, gutters and downpipes and cement roof sheets, and people usually contact us about garage roof sheets and old flues.
In places like Roundshaw, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

A closer look at the materials
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with sanders or grinders.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Common questions in Roundshaw
Do you cover Roundshaw and the area around Wallington station?
Yes, we cover Roundshaw and the area towards Wallington station, about 0.9 miles north-west.
Could my house in Roundshaw contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Cement and textured coatings are normally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
