Asbestos removal in Coldred
DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Asbestos removal in Coldred
In homes, in Coldred as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. Work on these is generally non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, which still means proper controls. People often contact us about materials found mid-project and old floor tiles and black adhesive, including water tanks, gutters and downpipes and textured coatings.
Rural removal near Coldred can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Coldred: your questions answered
Do older homes in Coldred have asbestos?
If your home in Coldred was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Coldred from London?
We cover Coldred, about 62 miles from central London.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor jobs do not typically affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
The process
We start by setting up and segregating the work area, and keep the material wet as we work. When we are done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows. Late-December sunset in Coldred is about 3:50pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
