What Our Clients Say
“I have recently purchased a late 1950's 3 bed maisonette that was riddled with asbestos in the flooring in every room. The Pro Asbestos Removal team came and quoted me quick and carried out the job fast and done an amazing professional job and left the property immaculate. I couldn't ask for more and highly recommend!”

Essex Asbestos Questions
How common is asbestos in Essex properties?
Essex has a large stock of post-war housing, particularly in towns such as Basildon, Harlow, and Romford, which were developed as new towns and overspill estates during the 1950s and 1960s. Asbestos cement was standard in garage roofs, shed cladding, and cold-water storage tanks across these developments, and many of these materials remain in place today.
What are the most common asbestos materials found in Essex homes?
Asbestos cement is the most widespread material, found in garage roofs, shed cladding, and cold-water storage tanks. Asbestos insulating board (AIB) appears in soffits, ceiling tiles, and boiler cupboards. Artex textured coatings on ceilings and walls are also common in properties from the 1960s and 1970s.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating my Essex property?
Any property built before the year 2000 that is subject to refurbishment or demolition work requires an asbestos survey under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. A refurbishment and demolition (R&D) survey identifies all asbestos-containing materials that could be disturbed during planned works, and is a legal requirement before any intrusive work begins.
