Asbestos removal in Curteis' Corner
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. People often contact us about old waste on site and cement water tanks in lofts, involving gutters and downpipes, cement roof sheets and cement soffits.
In towns and villages like Curteis' Corner, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

What it costs

DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Where asbestos turns up
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is when removal comes up.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Textured coatings
- Finds during refurbishment
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
In older properties in Curteis' Corner, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.
Before booking anyone

- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- The method and controls
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
Materials, one by one
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Limits to be aware of
A few things to be aware of:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Can I stay at home during removal?
For outdoor jobs, you can generally stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Can asbestos be left in place?
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.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
