How asbestos removal works in Brookhampton
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. We often deal with flue pipes, floor tiles and water tanks, and people generally contact us about flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and garage roof sheets.
In a village like Brookhampton, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Brookhampton
How far is Brookhampton from London?
Brookhampton is about 46 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover small places like Brookhampton?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Brookhampton?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
Should you do it yourself?
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.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Your options compared
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
