Asbestos help in Bury's Bank
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

How asbestos removal works in Bury's Bank
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Whether it’s asbestos garages and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles, we cover floor tiles, gutters and downpipes and water tanks.
Rural removal near Bury's Bank can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Where asbestos turns up
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, though in good condition it does not always need to go.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Loft water tanks
- Garage roof sheets
- Artex ceilings before renovation
If you let property near Newbury Racecourse station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.

Can asbestos be left in place?
It doesn’t always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.

After the job
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it proves legal disposal.
Some practical advice:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Don’ts
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
