About our asbestos removal in Black Bourton
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. Whether it’s old cold water tanks and outbuildings with cement roofs, we deal with water tanks, textured coatings and cement soffits.
In a village like Black Bourton, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Weighing up your options
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Common questions in Black Bourton
Could my house in Black Bourton contain asbestos?
Any home in Black Bourton built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Black Bourton?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings generally aren’t licensed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Where does the asbestos go?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site, with a consignment note as your record.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
For businesses and landlords in Black Bourton
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If your business premises in Black Bourton were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is normally a separate job, so plan it in advance.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Let us know where we can park
- Book the replacement before removal
Avoid these
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
