Step by step

We wear disposable coveralls and suitable respirators, and keep everyone else out of the work area. Parking close by makes the day easier, so let us know about any restrictions. We plan outdoor jobs in West Hanney to finish before dark: that means by about 4:00pm in December, or about 9:25pm in June.

  1. Describe the material and send pictures
  2. We test the material if needed
  3. We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
  4. On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
  5. We clean up, dispose of the waste legally and send the consignment note

Helpful guides

Your options compared

HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Why choose us

  • Accredited laboratory results
  • Legal disposal, with paperwork
  • Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
  • Across London and the South East

DIY and asbestos

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

What it costs

The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:

  • The category of work
  • How much there is
  • Parking and access charges
  • Material and condition

Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.

What to photograph

Before you send photos, a few tips:

  • The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
  • Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
  • Where we could park
  • Labels, if any

The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.

Common reasons for removal jobs in West Hanney

Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: whatever the work will touch should come out first.

Common situations in older properties include:

  • Artex ceilings before renovation
  • Finds during refurbishment
  • Old cold water tanks
  • Old waste on site

Older buildings in West Hanney, near Church of St James or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
  • Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
  • The documents you will receive
  • Whether VAT is included

Landlords, managing agents and employers

Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

If your business premises in West Hanney were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
