Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Looking after things afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
Keeping things safe:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Things not to do
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

- Garage roofs and whole garages
For non-domestic buildings like Saffron Green Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

Questions from Rowley Green
Do you cover Rowley Green and the area around Elstree & Borehamwood station?
Yes, we cover Rowley Green and the area towards Elstree & Borehamwood station, about 1.4 miles west.
Can you work in Rowley Green with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do you work in Rowley Green?
Yes, we do: Rowley Green is within the area we cover in Greater London. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs do not generally affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It doesn’t always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Options to consider in Rowley Green
Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
