Why people call us in Well Street
Damage from DIY, storms or accidents can make removal necessary, especially if broken material is lying around.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Old cold water tanks
- Old flues
- Asbestos garages
Older buildings in Well Street, near Church of St James or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.
What to look for in a quote
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Suitable insurance for the work
- VAT, clearly stated
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
Weighing up your options
Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is generally right. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
