Asbestos removal near Alderholt
About our asbestos removal in Alderholt
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. Common materials are textured coatings, floor tiles and gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are garage roofs and whole garages and old sheds and coal bunkers.
In a smaller place like Alderholt, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, with access through the garden or drive. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

We start by setting up and segregating the work area, and keep the material wet as we work. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we will do before we start. Late-December sunset in Alderholt is about 4:05pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

Alderholt questions
Is asbestos common in Alderholt homes?
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.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It doesn’t always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Looking after things afterwards
File the waste paperwork safely: it proves legal disposal.
After we have finished:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Share any survey or test results
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Things not to do
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
What affects the price in Alderholt
The biggest factors in the price are:
- What the material is and its state
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The quantity or area
- Disposal costs
Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- The access route
- Approximate dimensions
- Visible markings
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
