Asbestos removal for Easton properties
Asbestos removal in Easton covers homes, rental property and workplaces: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Every job is planned to HSE guidance, with the waste taken to a permitted site. Typical materials include cement roof sheets, cement soffits and floor tiles, and typical jobs are loft water tanks and materials found mid-project.
In Easton, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Easton
Do you come out to small villages like Easton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in Easton have asbestos?
If your home in Easton was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What does removal cost?
There is no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, for anyone working there later.
After we have finished:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- File the consignment note
- Share any survey or test results
Don’ts
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
What’s included, and what isn’t
So you know what to expect:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials we see
- Flue pipes
- Garage and shed roofs
- Bitumen roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Panels and boards
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Water tanks
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits (cement)
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What happens
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, then keep the material damp throughout. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and use controls to keep dust down. We plan outdoor jobs in Easton to finish before dark: that means by about 4:00pm in December, or about 9:25pm in June.
