Asbestos removal near Woosehill
A closer look at the materials

Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
Asbestos removal near Woosehill
Every removal job in Woosehill is planned first: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed, before anyone starts. Common materials are flue pipes, floor tiles and water tanks, and typical jobs are sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and textured coatings.
Properties in towns and villages like Woosehill with larger plots may have several outbuildings with cement roofs, which can often be dealt with together. We only recommend work that is needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Woosehill: your questions answered
How far is Woosehill from London?
We cover Woosehill, about 33 miles from central London.
Could my house in Woosehill contain asbestos?
Any home in Woosehill built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is usually separate
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
