After we’ve finished in Stansted
File the waste paperwork safely: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.

- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone

Things not to do

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Stansted: your questions answered
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover small places like Stansted?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
How do I get a quote?
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.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Stansted
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, although sound material can often stay.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Materials found mid-project
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Artex before plastering
In older buildings across Stansted, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.
