Asbestos removal for Donnington properties
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Whether it’s outbuildings with cement roofs and old floor tiles and black adhesive, we deal with gutters and downpipes, water tanks and cement roof sheets.
In Donnington, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Once we’re done:
- File the consignment note
- Book the replacement before removal
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Things not to do
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
For managing agents and freeholders in Donnington, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.

Donnington questions
Do you cover Donnington from London?
We cover Donnington, about 54 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like Donnington?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
