Asbestos removal in Brandfold
About our asbestos removal in Brandfold
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. Common materials are cement roof sheets, cement soffits and water tanks, and people generally contact us about old flues and floor tiles before a new floor.
Rural removal near Brandfold can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

For businesses and landlords in Brandfold
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you run a business from older premises in Brandfold, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Materials we deal with
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Brandfold questions
Is asbestos common in Brandfold homes?
Any home in Brandfold built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Brandfold from London?
Brandfold is about 35 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
What we deal with in Brandfold
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Artex before plastering
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Materials found mid-project
- Broken sheets in gardens
In older buildings across Brandfold, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.
