About our asbestos removal in St. Ebbes
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical materials include textured coatings, cement soffits and cement roof sheets, and people typically contact us about sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and asbestos garages.
Properties in places like St. Ebbes with larger plots may have several outbuildings with cement roofs. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

FAQs for St. Ebbes
Do you cover St. Ebbes from London?
St. Ebbes is about 53 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in St. Ebbes contain asbestos?
If your home in St. Ebbes was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally aren’t licensed.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
What affects the price in St. Ebbes
When we quote, we look at:
- What the material is and its state
- The category of work
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Photos that help
For a quick quote, include:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Where we could park
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.

Looking after things afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, so future trades know about it.
Once we’re done:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Share any survey or test results
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
What to avoid
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Typical removal jobs in St. Ebbes
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
These come up again and again:
- Loft water tanks
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Cement flues and gutters
- Debris left from a previous job
In older buildings across St. Ebbes, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- If the price includes VAT

Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
