Duty holders and landlords in Culmers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If you run a business from older premises in Culmers, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Asbestos removal near Culmers
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. Typical materials include floor tiles, textured coatings and gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are old waste on site and Artex before plastering.
In areas like Culmers, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Typical removal jobs in Culmers
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Old flues
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Asbestos garages
- Artex before plastering
Older buildings in Culmers, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Do you give written quotes?

Does all asbestos have to be removed?
It doesn’t always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Culmers?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. Every job gets a written quote.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.

Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
