Asbestos removal in Donnington
Asbestos removal for Donnington properties
You do not always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will say so. Typical jobs include sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and loft water tanks, including textured coatings, cement roof sheets and floor tiles.
In towns and villages like Donnington, 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.

Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you. Outdoor removal in Donnington is planned to finish in daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:20pm.

Questions from Donnington
How far is Donnington from London?
We cover Donnington, about 56 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Donnington?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Cement and textured coatings are generally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What does removal cost?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. We quote each job individually.
Options to consider in Donnington
Should it come out? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Things not to do
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
