Where asbestos turns up
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Textured coatings
- Old flues
- Loft water tanks
- Broken sheets in gardens
In older properties in Easton, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.

About our asbestos removal in Easton
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. People often contact us about asbestos found during building work and old sheds and coal bunkers, involving flue pipes, textured coatings and cement roof sheets.
Rural removal near Easton can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

For landlords, agents and businesses
For managing agents and freeholders in Easton, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Easton must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Easton: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Easton homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Easton can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover small places like Easton?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Options to consider in Easton
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Our quotes are clear about VAT.

DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Looking after things afterwards
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it in advance.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell us about parking and access
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Things not to do
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
