What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you test before removing asbestos in St Cross?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Asbestos removal near St Cross
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is generally non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, which still means proper controls. We often deal with flue pipes, water tanks and cement soffits, and typical jobs are broken sheets in gardens and finds during refurbishment.
Properties in towns and villages like St Cross with larger plots can have more than one cement-roofed building. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
