FAQs for Stocker's Head
Do you work near Charing station?
Yes. Charing station is about 1.3 miles south-west of Stocker's Head, and we cover both.
Do you come out to small villages like Stocker's Head?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
What does removal cost?
Every job is priced individually: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Asbestos removal near Stocker's Head
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. Whether it’s asbestos found during building work and floor tiles before a new floor, we cover flue pipes, cement soffits and water tanks and more.
In places like Stocker's Head, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

For businesses and landlords in Stocker's Head
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
What’s included, and what is not
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
Materials we see
- Soffits (cement)
- Artex and textured coatings
- Gutters and downpipes
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Bitumen roof felt
- Garage and shed roofs
- Panels and boards
- Water tanks
- Flue pipes
- Floor tiles and adhesive
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Materials, one by one
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Looking after things afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is generally a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
Some practical advice:
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Tell us about parking and access
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
What to avoid
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
