Asbestos removal in Enstone
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, and you get the waste paperwork. Typical jobs include asbestos garages and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos, including water tanks, textured coatings and flue pipes.
Rural removal near Enstone can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Questions from Enstone
How far is Enstone from London?
We cover Enstone, about 65 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Enstone have asbestos?
Any home in Enstone built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can normally stay put. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Enstone must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Limits to be aware of
A few things to be aware of:
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Making good is normally a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
