Asbestos help in Watermead
Your questions about asbestos removal in Watermead
Do you cover Watermead from London?
We cover Watermead, about 38 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Watermead have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can you help with a shop or office?
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.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Asbestos removal in Watermead
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, and you get the waste paperwork. Whether it’s sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and floor tiles before a new floor, we cover textured coatings, water tanks and cement soffits.
Homes in Watermead with bigger gardens can have more than one cement-roofed building. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

After we’ve finished in Watermead
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, because the plan may need to change.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Share any survey or test results
- File the consignment note
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Options to consider in Watermead
Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is normally right. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.

Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
Where asbestos turns up
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
In older properties, we often see:
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Debris left from a previous job
For non-domestic buildings like St Louis Catholic Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
Before you book anyone
- VAT, clearly stated
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
