Asbestos removal near Appley
Every removal job in Appley is planned first: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed. We often deal with gutters and downpipes, textured coatings and water tanks, and typical jobs are old flues and old cold water tanks.
In a smaller place like Appley, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, reached through gardens and drives. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

After we have finished in Appley
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, so future trades know about it.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Tell us about any previous survey
What to avoid

What we do and don’t cover
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it does not:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Making good is normally a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Water tanks
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits (cement)
- Panels and boards
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Bitumen roof felt

Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

Appley: your questions answered
Do you cover Appley and the area around Ryde St Johns Road station?
Yes, we cover Appley and the area towards Ryde St Johns Road station, about 0.5 miles west.
Is asbestos common in Appley homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Appley can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs do not usually affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
What happens
If we find more than expected, or something different, we stop and talk to you, before changing the plan. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away. In winter, the light goes in Appley by about 4:00pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
- Get in touch with the details of the job

- We book the work and notify if required
- We set up the work area and remove the material
- We dispose of the waste legally and send the paperwork
Getting ready

Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
What it might be made of
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, usually tightly bound.
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
