Asbestos removal for Shurlock Row
Asbestos removal near Shurlock Row
Removal is not always the answer. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will tell you honestly when that is the case. Typical materials include water tanks, cement roof sheets and cement soffits, and people usually contact us about debris left from a previous job and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles.
Rural removal near Shurlock Row can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

What it might be made of
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
Looking after things afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is normally a separate job, so plan it in advance.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Let us know where we can park
Things not to do
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Shurlock Row questions
How far is Shurlock Row from London?
We cover Shurlock Row, about 31 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Shurlock Row have asbestos?
If your home in Shurlock Row was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
