Asbestos removal near Shellwood Cross
Removal is not always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will say so. Whether it’s old flues and outbuildings with cement roofs, we deal with flue pipes, water tanks and floor tiles.
In a village like Shellwood Cross, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Shellwood Cross: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Shellwood Cross?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How far is Shellwood Cross from London?
We cover Shellwood Cross, about 22 miles from central London.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Shellwood Cross?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
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.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Often it can stay: sound material that won’t be disturbed can be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you manage or own a block in Shellwood Cross, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
After the job
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
Once we’re done:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Share any survey or test results
- File the consignment note
What to avoid
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- How many samples are needed
- Licensed or non-licensed
- How much waste there is
- The quantity or area
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Photos that help
When you send photos, these help most:
- An overall view
- An idea of size
- Visible markings
- A close-up from a safe distance
