Asbestos removal in Woodcote Green
About our asbestos removal in Woodcote Green
Removal is not always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll say so. Typical materials include gutters and downpipes, flue pipes and floor tiles, and typical jobs are broken sheets in gardens and Artex ceilings before renovation.
In places like Woodcote Green, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Common questions in Woodcote Green
Do you work in Woodcote Green despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you cover Woodcote Green and the area around Reedham (London) station?
Yes, we cover Woodcote Green and the area towards Reedham (London) station, about 1.3 miles south-east.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
What does removal cost?
Every job is priced individually: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
What’s included, and what isn’t
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.

- If the price includes VAT
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work

Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Materials, one by one
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, which is generally well bound.
