Asbestos removal for Avisford properties
In homes, in Avisford as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. Common materials are floor tiles, flue pipes and cement soffits, and people normally contact us about asbestos garages and asbestos found during building work.
In places like Avisford, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Questions from Avisford
How far is Avisford from London?
Avisford is about 50 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you come out to small villages like Avisford?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Where does the asbestos go?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
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; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
What’s included, and what isn’t
What’s in and what’s out:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is normally separate
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Gutters and downpipes
- Panels and boards
- Artex and textured coatings
- Flue pipes
- Water tanks
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits (cement)
- Bitumen roof felt
- Asbestos cement sheets
Options to consider in Avisford
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and disposal still has to be done properly. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
