Asbestos removal near Barton
Questions from Barton
Could my house in Barton contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Barton can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Barton from London?
We cover Barton, about 51 miles from central London.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.

Water tanks and flues

If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.

Parking close by makes the day easier, so let us know about any restrictions. Late-December sunset in Barton is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
