Asbestos removal near Albourne
Asbestos removal near Albourne
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. People often contact us about textured coatings and old flues, including cement soffits, floor tiles and water tanks.
In towns and villages like Albourne, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
How it works
Once removal is finished, we clean and check the area, and we talk you through what was done. Parking close by makes the day easier. In winter, the light goes in Albourne by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Share photos, the postcode and any survey or test you have
- We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
- We quote in writing, including the waste
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can
- We clean the area and send the consignment note
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Clear the way to the work area
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them

Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

What we deal with in Albourne
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Textured coatings
- Finds during refurbishment
- Old cold water tanks
- Old waste on site
In older buildings across Albourne, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Questions to ask before booking
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- What isn’t included
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
What we do and don’t cover
A few things to be aware of:
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work

Questions from Albourne
How far is Albourne from London?
We cover Albourne, about 39 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Albourne homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Albourne can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What does removal cost?
There’s no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
What happens next
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- File the consignment note
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Book the replacement before removal
Don’ts
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
