Higher-risk materials such as pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence.

In a village like Cock Marling, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

- Broken sheets in gardens

Questions from Cock Marling
How far is Cock Marling from London?
We cover Cock Marling, about 51 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Cock Marling homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Cock Marling may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. 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 stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Cock Marling?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
If you run a business from older premises in Cock Marling, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
