Asbestos removal near Clanfield
Common reasons for removal jobs in Clanfield
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Textured coatings
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Garage roof sheets
Older buildings in Clanfield, near Church of St Stephen or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.

About our asbestos removal in Clanfield
Removal is not always the answer. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll tell you honestly when that’s the case. Typical jobs include finds during refurbishment and Artex before plastering, involving cement soffits, cement roof sheets and floor tiles.
In areas like Clanfield, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Clanfield
Do you cover small places like Clanfield?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Clanfield contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
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.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Clanfield?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.

A closer look at the materials
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, usually tightly bound.
Which option is right?
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it

Unsure whether you need a test, a survey or removal? Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749, and we’ll advise.
Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
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.
The scope of asbestos removal
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and does not cover:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

- Garage and shed roofs
- Gutters and downpipes
- Artex and textured coatings
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Panels and boards

Afterwards
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:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- File the consignment note
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
Things not to do
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
