Materials we deal with
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
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.
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
FAQs for Stratfield Mortimer
Do you come out to small villages like Stratfield Mortimer?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Stratfield Mortimer and the area around Mortimer station?
Yes. Mortimer station is close to the centre of Stratfield Mortimer, and we cover the whole area.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
