Asbestos removal in Crumbles
Asbestos removal near Crumbles
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is usually non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. People often contact us about cement flues and gutters and outbuildings with cement roofs, involving cement soffits, cement roof sheets and gutters and downpipes.
In towns and villages like Crumbles, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Parking and access charges
- How much there is
- How easy it is to reach
- The survey scope
Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Helping us quote
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Damaged areas
- The parking area
