How asbestos removal works in Stone
Asbestos removal in Stone covers homes, rental property and workplaces: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Every job is planned to HSE guidance, with the waste taken to a permitted site. We often deal with flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and textured coatings, and people typically contact us about loft water tanks and floor tiles before a new floor.
Homes in Stone with bigger gardens can have more than one cement-roofed building. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Looking after things afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Let us know where we can park
- Tell us about any previous survey
Avoid these
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.

FAQs for Stone
Do you work near Stone Crossing station?
Yes. Stone Crossing station is about 0.5 miles north-west of Stone, and we cover both.
Could my house in Stone contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange 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.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Stone?
There’s no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.

Which option is right?
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, rather than halting work when it’s found. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
