With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
How asbestos removal works in Tonge Corner
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. Typical materials include cement soffits, cement roof sheets and water tanks, and typical jobs are garage roofs and whole garages and cement water tanks in lofts.
In a village like Tonge Corner, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Afterwards
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
What to avoid
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Tonge Corner
Do older homes in Tonge Corner have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Tonge Corner from London?
We cover Tonge Corner, about 39 miles from central London.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
