Asbestos removal near Enborne
Asbestos removal for Enborne properties
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Common materials are cement soffits, gutters and downpipes and textured coatings, and typical jobs are vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and broken sheets in gardens.
In a village like Enborne, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Enborne: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Enborne homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you come out to small villages like Enborne?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
How do I get a quote?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
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.
