Where asbestos turns up
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Debris left from a previous job
- Loft water tanks
- Artex before plastering
Landlords near Hungerford station often time removal for when a property is empty.
What to look for in a quote
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
Duty holders and landlords in East Garston Woodlands
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
East Garston Woodlands: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like East Garston Woodlands?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work on properties in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
How can I get a price?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Afterwards
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Keep children and pets away on the day
What to avoid
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
