Asbestos removal near Beenham

Asbestos removal for Beenham properties

Every removal job in Beenham is planned first: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. People often contact us about asbestos found during building work and old flues, involving gutters and downpipes, flue pipes and water tanks.

In areas like Beenham, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Common questions in Beenham

Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?

Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.

Do you come out to small villages like Beenham?

Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.

I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?

Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.

Can I stay at home during removal?

That depends: outdoor jobs don’t generally affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.

Does weather affect the work?

Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.

What happens to the waste?

It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note for your records.

Can asbestos go in my bin?

No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.

When can you start?

We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.

Can I do it myself?

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

After the job

Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it in advance.

To avoid problems in future:

  • File the consignment note
  • Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
  • Keep children and pets away on the day
  • Let us know where we can park

Avoid these

Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.

Where asbestos turns up

Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.

These are some of the things we deal with in Beenham:

  • Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
  • Garage roofs and whole garages
  • Textured coatings
  • Debris left from a previous job

In older buildings across Beenham, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.

Before booking anyone

  • Waste disposal and the consignment note
  • Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
  • What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
  • Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab

How to choose an asbestos contractor

Materials we deal with

Water tanks and flues

Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.

Insulating board and lagging

It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.

The process

We unfix materials and take them out in whole pieces where we can, without breaking, dropping or power tools. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening. We plan outdoor jobs in Beenham to finish before dark: that means by about 4:00pm in December, or about 9:25pm in June.
