Asbestos removal near Burmarsh
Asbestos removal in Burmarsh
Removal is not always the answer. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll say so. Whether it’s sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and floor tiles before a new floor, we deal with floor tiles, gutters and downpipes and textured coatings.
In Burmarsh, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Burmarsh questions
Do you cover small places like Burmarsh?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Burmarsh from London?
Burmarsh is about 57 miles from central London, well within our area.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Burmarsh?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Duty holders and landlords in Burmarsh
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
The process
We unfix materials and take them out in whole pieces where we can, never broken up, dropped or cut with power tools. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first. Late-December sunset in Burmarsh is about 3:50pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- We test the material if needed
- We plan the job and send a written quote
- On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
- The area is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with paperwork
How to prepare
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Move things out of the way carefully

Why people call us in Burmarsh
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
These come up again and again:
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Artex before plastering
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Old waste on site
Older buildings in Burmarsh, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.

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, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Choosing the right option
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
