Asbestos removal near Swanwick
About our asbestos removal in Swanwick
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Typical jobs include old waste on site and loft water tanks, involving cement soffits, cement roof sheets and textured coatings.
In a village like Swanwick, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

What’s included, and what is not
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning

- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.

Looking after things afterwards
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Some practical advice:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Let us know where we can park
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
Avoid these
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Materials we deal with
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Common questions in Swanwick
Do you cover Swanwick from London?
We cover Swanwick, about 67 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Swanwick?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.

Where asbestos turns up
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Artex before plastering
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Old waste on site
- Old flues
Older buildings in Swanwick, near Church of St Paul or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
