Typical removal jobs in Afton Park
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
These come up again and again:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Old cold water tanks
- Materials found mid-project
- Broken sheets in gardens
Older buildings in Afton Park, near St. Agnes' Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Comparing quotes

What we do and don’t cover
Some limits to bear in mind:

Helpful guides
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Afton Park
Could my house in Afton Park contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Afton Park?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
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; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
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.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that won’t be disturbed can be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
After the job
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
Once we’re done:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Let us know where we can park
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Send photos of the material and the access
Don’ts
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
