About our asbestos removal in Badgers Mount
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. We often deal with water tanks, textured coatings and gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are old waste on site and old floor tiles and black adhesive.
Rural removal near Badgers Mount can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
How it works
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, and keep the material wet as we work. While we work, the area stays out of bounds. Outdoor removal in Badgers Mount is planned to finish in daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Share photos, the postcode and any survey or test you have

A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
What it costs
We base our quote on:
- What the material is and its state
- The category of work
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Helping us quote
When you send photos, these help most:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A rough size or measurement
- Street parking nearby
Every job is quoted in writing. Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
After the job
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Don’ts
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Typical removal jobs in Badgers Mount
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Asbestos found during building work
- Broken sheets in gardens
On busy roads like the A224, loading the waste needs planning, so mention it, as main roads can be restricted.
