Asbestos removal in Calbourne
Removal is not always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll tell you honestly when that is the case. Typical jobs include garage roof sheets and textured coatings, including gutters and downpipes, cement roof sheets and floor tiles.
In a village like Calbourne, 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 will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Calbourne
Could my house in Calbourne contain asbestos?
If your home in Calbourne was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Calbourne?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What does removal cost?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. Every job gets a written quote.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The removal method depends on the material.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.

The process
We start by setting up and segregating the work area, and keep the material wet as we work. The work area is kept clear while we’re working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. We plan outdoor jobs in Calbourne to finish before dark: in late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the postcode and photos
- We work out what category the work falls into
- We agree a date and any notification needed
- On the day we set up, remove and bag the material
- The waste goes to a permitted site with a consignment note
How to prepare
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Warn neighbours if needed

Typical removal jobs in Calbourne
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
In older properties, we often see:
- Old cold water tanks
- Cement flues and gutters
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Textured coatings
In older properties in Calbourne, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.
