Asbestos removal in Bix
About our asbestos removal in Bix
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. People often contact us about cement flues and gutters and garage roof sheets, including cement soffits, floor tiles and cement roof sheets.
In a village like Bix, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Why people call us in Bix
Sometimes damage forces the issue, especially if broken material is lying around.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Garage roof sheets
- Debris left from a previous job
- Textured coatings
- Cement water tanks in lofts
In older properties in Bix, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.
What your quote should include
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Whether the job needs notifying
Should you do it yourself?
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.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Bix
Do you come out to small villages like Bix?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Bix contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
