How asbestos removal works in Carterton
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. Typical materials include flue pipes, floor tiles and textured coatings, and typical jobs are old cold water tanks and asbestos found during building work.
Homes and small businesses in places like Carterton may have cement roofs and outbuildings that need removing before work. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Materials, one by one
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, usually tightly bound.
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
FAQs for Carterton
Do older homes in Carterton have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Carterton may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Carterton from London?
We cover Carterton, about 67 miles from central London.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
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.
Duty holders and landlords in Carterton
If you run a business from older premises in Carterton, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.

Some practical advice:
- Book the replacement before removal

Don’ts
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
What we deal with in Carterton
Old materials break down over time: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is when removal comes up.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Artex before plastering
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Old cold water tanks
In older properties in Carterton, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.
