About our asbestos removal in Dummer
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, and you get the waste paperwork. Typical jobs include floor tiles before a new floor and garage roofs and whole garages, involving gutters and downpipes, water tanks and textured coatings.
In towns and villages like Dummer, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

How we price asbestos removal
Quotes vary because of:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How many samples are needed
- Licensed or non-licensed
- How much there is
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

When you send photos, these help most:
- Visible markings
- Cracks or breaks
- A rough size or measurement
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
Include any existing survey or test when you call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Your options compared
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is usually right. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Why choose us
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Reports and results you can share

Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Dummer
Is asbestos common in Dummer homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Dummer and the area around Micheldever station?
Yes, we cover Dummer and the area towards Micheldever station, about 4.8 miles south-west.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Why people call us in Dummer
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
In older properties, we often see:
- Old flues
- Materials found mid-project
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Old cold water tanks
In older properties in Dummer, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.
