Asbestos removal near Balls Green
A closer look at the materials
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Asbestos removal in Balls Green
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, and you get the waste paperwork. Common materials are floor tiles, textured coatings and water tanks, and typical jobs are old cold water tanks and garage roof sheets.
In Balls Green, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Balls Green: your questions answered
Could my house in Balls Green contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Balls Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can I stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Duty holders and landlords in Balls Green
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Typical removal jobs in Balls Green
Damage from DIY, storms or accidents can make removal necessary, especially if broken material is lying around.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Old flues
- Artex before plastering
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
Older buildings in Balls Green, near The church of St Michael and All Angels or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
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.
Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Don’ts
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
