How we work

On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, then keep the material damp throughout. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you. Outdoor removal in Empshott is planned to finish in daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:20pm.

Asbestos removal in Empshott

After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, with a consignment note for your records. People often contact us about outbuildings with cement roofs and old waste on site, including floor tiles, textured coatings and water tanks.

Rural removal near Empshott can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Looking after things afterwards

Keep the consignment note with your property records: it proves legal disposal.

Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:

  • Send photos of the material and the access
  • Let us know where we can park
  • Let neighbours know if work is near them
  • Plan any replacement work before the removal date

Avoid these

Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.

Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.

What we do and don’t cover

So you know what to expect:

  • Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is normally separate
  • Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
  • Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor

If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

Materials we see

  • Artex and textured coatings
  • Floor tiles and adhesive
  • Bitumen roof felt
  • Soffits (cement)
  • Water tanks
  • Panels and boards
  • Flue pipes
  • Gutters and downpipes

Why people call us in Empshott

Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.

You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:

  • Textured coatings
  • Finds during refurbishment
  • Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
  • Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles

In older properties in Empshott, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.

Before you book anyone

  • What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
  • Whether VAT is included
  • Insurance appropriate to asbestos work

Landlords, managing agents and employers

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 Empshott

Do you cover small places like Empshott?

Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.

Do you cover Empshott from London?

Empshott is about 46 miles from central London, well within our area.

Should all asbestos be removed?

No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.

What if the weather’s bad?

It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.

Can I stay at home during removal?

That depends: outdoor jobs don’t typically affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.

How do I know if my property contains asbestos?

Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.

Can you help with a flat?

Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.

Can I do it myself?

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.

A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Choosing the right option

Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
