Asbestos removal near Staplestreet
If your builder has found suspect material in Staplestreet, stop work in that area and keep people away. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. We often deal with flue pipes, floor tiles and textured coatings, and typical jobs are garage roof sheets and Artex ceilings before renovation.
Rural removal near Staplestreet can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Where asbestos turns up
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is when removal comes up.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Asbestos garages
- Cement flues and gutters
- Finds during refurbishment
- Cement water tanks in lofts
In older buildings across Staplestreet, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
A closer look at the materials
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.

FAQs for Staplestreet
Do you cover Staplestreet and the area around Selling station?
Yes, we cover Staplestreet and the area towards Selling station, about 1.9 miles south.
How far is Staplestreet from London?
Staplestreet is about 47 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.

We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.

If your business premises in Staplestreet were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
