About our asbestos removal in Broom Street
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is usually non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. Common materials are cement soffits, cement roof sheets and textured coatings, and people generally contact us about finds during refurbishment and loft water tanks.
In towns and villages like Broom Street, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Afterwards
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Share any survey or test results
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Don’ts
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.

Broom Street questions
Do you cover Broom Street from London?
Broom Street is about 46 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you come out to small villages like Broom Street?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
It doesn’t always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
A closer look at the materials
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
How it works
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, then keep the material damp throughout. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. Outdoor removal in Broom Street is planned to finish in daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:15pm.
- Share photos, the postcode and any survey or test you have
- We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
- We quote in writing, including the waste

Preparing for the visit
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
