Asbestos removal in Woodway
Asbestos removal in Woodway
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. From Artex before plastering and old floor tiles and black adhesive, we cover gutters and downpipes, flue pipes and water tanks.
In a village like Woodway, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

You’ll get a written quote. Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form with the details.
Weighing up your options
Be wary of a price that seems too low: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Why us?
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Reports and results you can share
- Clear advice on your options

Questions from Woodway
How far is Woodway from London?
We cover Woodway, about 49 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Woodway homes?
If your home in Woodway was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The removal method depends on the material.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are normally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Looking after things afterwards
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, because the plan may need to change.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Avoid these
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
