Asbestos removal in Clifton
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, and you get the waste paperwork. From old cold water tanks and materials found mid-project, we deal with floor tiles, textured coatings and water tanks.
In a village like Clifton, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Materials, one by one

DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Good to know
Before you book, note that:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Artex and textured coatings
- Panels and boards
- Flue pipes
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Water tanks
- Soffits (cement)
- Bitumen roof felt
- Garage and shed roofs
- Gutters and downpipes
- Floor tiles and adhesive
For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If you manage or own a block in Clifton, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Where asbestos turns up
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Loft water tanks
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
For rentals close to Kings Sutton station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.

Common questions in Clifton
Is asbestos common in Clifton homes?
If your home in Clifton was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Kings Sutton station?
Yes. Kings Sutton station is about 2.7 miles north of Clifton, and we cover both.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
What does removal cost?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. We quote each job individually.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Clifton?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
