Asbestos removal in Ashey
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
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.
About our asbestos removal in Ashey
Removal isn’t always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will tell you honestly when that’s the case. Typical jobs include garage roof sheets and asbestos found during building work, including floor tiles, water tanks and cement soffits.
In areas like Ashey, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

The scope of asbestos removal
A few things to be aware of:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Panels and boards
- Bitumen roof felt
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits (cement)
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Garage and shed roofs
- Gutters and downpipes
- Water tanks
- Flue pipes
Materials, one by one
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, usually tightly bound.
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Looking after things afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is normally a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Let us know where we can park
- Send photos of the material and the access
Avoid these
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Ashey questions
Is asbestos common in Ashey homes?
Any home in Ashey built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Smallbrook Junction station?
Yes, we cover Ashey and the area towards Smallbrook Junction station, about 1.5 miles north-east.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are normally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.

What else we do in Ashey
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in Ashey were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
What it costs
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- Parking and access charges
- The category of work
- The survey scope
- Waste quantity and disposal
Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
