Asbestos removal near Combe
What we deal with in Combe
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Textured coatings
- Old cold water tanks
- Cement flues and gutters
In older buildings across Combe, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Questions to ask before booking
- What category of work it is
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- The documents you will receive
- Suitable insurance for the work
Asbestos removal in Combe
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. We often deal with gutters and downpipes, water tanks and cement soffits, and people typically contact us about sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and old waste on site.
Rural removal near Combe can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is generally well bound.
How we work
Materials are released carefully and removed whole where possible, never broken up, dropped or cut with power tools. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. In winter, the light goes in Combe by about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- We test the material if needed
- We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
- On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
- We clean up, dispose of the waste legally and send the consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Clear the way to the work area
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them

Can I do it myself?
