About our asbestos removal in Branbridges
If your builder has found suspect material in Branbridges, stop work in that area and keep people away. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. We often deal with textured coatings, flue pipes and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and materials found mid-project.
In a village like Branbridges, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Where asbestos turns up

- Artex before plastering
- Asbestos garages
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Old waste on site

Asbestos cement

Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
What we do and do not cover
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it does not:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

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.
