- Home Buyer Asbestos Surveys: Buying a property in Chigwell? This essential check identifies any potential hidden asbestos, protecting you from unexpected costs and safety risks after you move in.
- Asbestos Management Surveys: If you own or manage a non-domestic property, this is a legal necessity. We pinpoint any ACMs, assess their condition, and create a clear report and register to help you manage them safely, keeping everyone on your premises protected.

If you've spotted a material you think might contain asbestos, the most important thing is not to touch or disturb it. Our team can safely take a sample from your Chigwell property and send it off to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. This gives you a definitive result and certificate, confirming whether asbestos is present. We frequently test materials like:
- Textured coatings, often known as Artex, found on ceilings and walls.
- Asbestos cement products, common in garage roofs, wall panels, soffits, and gutters.
- Old vinyl floor tiles and their backing paper.
- Asbestos Insulating Board (AIB).
- Pipe insulation and boiler flues.
Many properties in Chigwell built or refurbished before the year 2000 might contain asbestos. It was a very common building material from the 1950s to the 1990s, and it's notoriously difficult to identify just by looking at it. A professional test is the only way to be absolutely certain.
Secure Asbestos Removal & Responsible Disposal
Our main service is the safe removal of non-licensed asbestos from all types of buildings. Our highly trained team follows strict procedures to carefully contain the work area, remove the materials, and leave your property thoroughly clean and safe. While homeowners can legally remove small amounts of non-licensed asbestos cement themselves, we strongly advise against it. Without proper training, specialist equipment (like personal protective equipment and respiratory protective equipment), and correct disposal methods, you risk exposing yourself and others to dangerous asbestos fibres. Always choose a professional for your health.
- Domestic Asbestos Removal: We specialise in removing asbestos from Chigwell homes – tackling garages, sheds, outbuildings, soffits and fascias, floor tiles, and old cement water tanks.
- Commercial Asbestos Removal: From office refurbishments to retail fit-outs, we safely remove asbestos cement panels, ceiling tiles, and other ACMs with minimum disruption to your business operations.
- Industrial Asbestos Removal: We handle larger-scale removal projects like asbestos cement roofing and cladding on warehouses, factories, and agricultural buildings.
- Asbestos Collection & Disposal: If you have asbestos that’s already been carefully removed or dismantled, we offer a professional collection service. We make sure it's correctly packaged, transported to a licensed hazardous waste facility, and provide you with all the necessary legal paperwork (Hazardous Waste Consignment Note) for your records. This ensures the environmental safety of your waste.
