Asbestos removal for Ditton properties
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is generally non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, which still means proper controls. People often contact us about Artex before plastering and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes, including cement soffits, textured coatings and water tanks.
In Ditton, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Materials we deal with
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is generally well bound.
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with power tools.
Looking after things afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, so future trades know about it.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Photos of the material and the route in help
Don’ts
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Duty holders and landlords in Ditton
If you manage or own a block in Ditton, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
If your business premises in Ditton were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Prices and what affects them
When we quote, we look at:
- The size of the job
- Access to the area
- The type of material and its condition

Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.

- Labels, if any
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The parking area
- A clear close-up

FAQs for Ditton
Do you cover small places like Ditton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Ditton contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can normally stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
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.
What we deal with in Ditton
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, although sound material can often stay.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Textured coatings
- Materials found mid-project
- Asbestos garages
In a school like Castleview Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
What your quote should include
- How fibres will be kept down
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Whether the job needs notifying
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
