Helpful guides
How asbestos removal works in Baulking
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. People often contact us about garage roof sheets and debris left from a previous job, involving flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and cement roof sheets.
In Baulking, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

What we do and don’t cover
The usual limits are:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Gutters and downpipes
- Flue pipes
- Soffits (cement)
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Panels and boards
- Bitumen roof felt
- Water tanks
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

FAQs for Baulking
Do older homes in Baulking have asbestos?
If your home in Baulking was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Baulking?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
How do I get a quote?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
