Asbestos removal in Dadford
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Common materials are flue pipes, water tanks and textured coatings, and typical jobs are old cold water tanks and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos.
In Dadford, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Common questions in Dadford
Is asbestos common in Dadford homes?
Any home in Dadford built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Dadford from London?
We cover Dadford, about 55 miles from central London.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Often it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What we deal with in Dadford
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
In older properties, we often see:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Textured coatings
- Garage roof sheets
In older buildings across Dadford, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Helpful guides
DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
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.
Choosing the right option
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Why choose us
- Clear advice on your options
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
Take a look at our prices page and published price ranges.
Looking after things afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, for anyone working there later.
Going forward:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Send photos of the material and the access
Don’ts
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
