Asbestos removal in Duncton
About our asbestos removal in Duncton
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. Typical jobs include asbestos found during building work and garage roofs and whole garages, including water tanks, flue pipes and cement soffits.
In areas like Duncton, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

FAQs for Duncton
Do you come out to small villages like Duncton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Duncton from London?
We cover Duncton, about 45 miles from central London.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor jobs don’t usually affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Your options compared
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and disposal still has to be done properly. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.

What we deal with in Duncton
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Old flues
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Old waste on site
- Artex before plastering
In older buildings across Duncton, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.
What your quote should include
- What isn’t included
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- What category of work it is
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
Afterwards
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, because the plan may need to change.
Once we’re done:
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Tell us about any previous survey
Things not to do
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.

Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
