How asbestos removal works in Butlocks Heath
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. Common materials are water tanks, gutters and downpipes and cement soffits, and people generally contact us about outbuildings with cement roofs and asbestos garages.
Rural removal near Butlocks Heath can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Questions from Butlocks Heath
Is asbestos common in Butlocks Heath homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Butlocks Heath can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover small places like Butlocks Heath?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.

Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Butlocks Heath must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
What happens next
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- File the consignment note
- Book the replacement before removal
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Don’ts
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
