How asbestos removal works in Barford St Michael
In homes, in Barford St Michael as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. Work on these is normally non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. Whether it’s garage roof sheets and old floor tiles and black adhesive, we cover gutters and downpipes, cement soffits and floor tiles and more.

What we deal with in Barford St Michael
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Old waste on site
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Loft water tanks
- Artex ceilings before renovation
Older buildings in Barford St Michael, near Church of St Michael or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.
What your quote should include
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- How fibres will be kept down
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
How it works
We start by setting up and segregating the work area, and keep the material wet as we work. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. In winter, the light goes in Barford St Michael by about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- We test it if needed and plan the job
- You get a written quote, including waste disposal
- The material is removed safely
- We clean up and send you the waste paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive

After the job

- Tell us about any previous survey
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
What to avoid
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

Barford St Michael: your questions answered
Do you cover Barford St Michael and the area around Kings Sutton station?
Yes. Kings Sutton station is about 4.3 miles north-east of Barford St Michael, and we cover both.
How far is Barford St Michael from London?
We cover Barford St Michael, about 64 miles from central London.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Not always. Cement and textured coatings are generally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
