Asbestos removal near Beenham Stocks
Removal is not always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll say so. Common materials are water tanks, cement soffits and gutters and downpipes, and people usually contact us about loft water tanks and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos.
In Beenham Stocks, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Artex ceilings before renovation

Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
After the job
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Book the replacement before removal
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Send photos of the material and the access
Don’ts
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Step by step
Materials are released carefully and removed whole where possible, never broken up, dropped or cut with power tools. It helps if we can park nearby. Late-December sunset in Beenham Stocks is about 4:00pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

Choosing the right option
Remove, or leave and manage?
