Asbestos removal near Alkerton
We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across Alkerton: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Every job is planned to HSE guidance, with the waste taken to a permitted site. Typical materials include floor tiles, textured coatings and flue pipes, and people generally contact us about floor tiles before a new floor and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes.
In Alkerton, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

What else we do in Alkerton
Typical removal jobs in Alkerton
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Materials found mid-project
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Old flues
- Floor tiles before a new floor
At a school such as Shenington Church of England Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- The scope of the job, in writing
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The documents you will receive
- Any exclusions
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you manage or own a block in Alkerton, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Alkerton
Do you come out to small villages like Alkerton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Alkerton contain asbestos?
If your home in Alkerton was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
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, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
Once we’re done:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
What to avoid
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
