Asbestos removal for Bishopstone
How asbestos removal works in Bishopstone
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical jobs include old sheds and coal bunkers and debris left from a previous job, involving water tanks, flue pipes and cement soffits.
In places like Bishopstone, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

What it might be made of
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
What happens next
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- File the consignment note
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell us about any previous survey
Don’ts
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
For businesses and landlords in Bishopstone
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Options to consider in Bishopstone
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
