Asbestos removal for St Lawrence
About our asbestos removal in St Lawrence
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. From floor tiles before a new floor and old sheds and coal bunkers, we deal with textured coatings, cement roof sheets and floor tiles.
In St Lawrence, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Your questions about asbestos removal in St Lawrence
Is asbestos common in St Lawrence homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like St Lawrence?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
What happens to the waste?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site, with a consignment note as your record.
Do you cover St Lawrence?
We do: our area includes St Lawrence and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
How do I get a quote?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Where asbestos turns up
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it does not always need to go.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Asbestos garages
- Cement flues and gutters
- Old waste on site
- Textured coatings
For non-domestic buildings like St Francis Catholic and Church of England Primary Academy, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
