Asbestos removal in Shottenden
Which option is right?

FAQs for Shottenden
Do you come out to small villages like Shottenden?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work near Selling station?
Yes, we cover Shottenden and the area towards Selling station, about 2 miles north.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
How can I get a price?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.

Every quote reflects:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Location, parking and any London charges
- What the material is and its state

How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

Helpful guides
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Materials we deal with
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
