Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with power tools.
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
How asbestos removal works in East Stratton
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. From cement water tanks in lofts and textured coatings, we cover cement soffits, water tanks and flue pipes.
Rural removal near East Stratton can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

What happens next
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
Avoid these
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
The process
Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, ready to go to a permitted site. We begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing. Late-December sunset in East Stratton is about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Tell us what needs removing and send photos
- We test the material if needed
- We plan the job and send a written quote
- On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
- We clean up, dispose of the waste legally and send the consignment note
How to prepare
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone

Common questions in East Stratton
Is asbestos common in East Stratton homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in East Stratton may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover East Stratton and the area around Micheldever station?
Yes. Micheldever station is about 2.5 miles north-west of East Stratton, and we cover both.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
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.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
