How asbestos removal works in Elm Park
Every removal job in Elm Park is planned first: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified. Common materials are textured coatings, gutters and downpipes and cement soffits, and people normally contact us about old flues and broken sheets in gardens.
In areas like Elm Park, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
After the job
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
A few practical points:
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Tell us about any previous survey
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
The scope of asbestos removal
To be clear about the scope:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Making good is normally a separate job

What we deal with in Elm Park

- Asbestos garages

Older buildings in Elm Park, near St Nicholas Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Choosing the right option
