Older buildings in Exton, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.

How asbestos removal works in Exton
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. From broken sheets in gardens and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos, we deal with water tanks, gutters and downpipes and cement soffits and more.
In a village like Exton, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We only recommend work that’s needed.

What else we do in Exton
Common reasons for removal jobs in Exton
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Old cold water tanks
- Asbestos garages
In a school like Meonstoke Church of England Infant School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.

A closer look at the materials
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
Duty holders and landlords in Exton
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Step by step
We wear disposable coveralls and suitable respirators, and keep everyone else out of the work area. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. Late-December sunset in Exton is about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

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

- Panels and boards
- Flue pipes

After we have finished in Exton
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.
Keeping things safe:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Book the replacement before removal
What to avoid
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

How we price asbestos removal
The cost depends on:
- What the material is and its state
- Disposal costs
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Licensed or non-licensed
Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- How we’d reach it
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Labels, if any
- A picture of the whole area
Not sure what you need? Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 and describe the problem, and we’ll advise.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
FAQs for Exton
Do older homes in Exton have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Exton can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Exton from London?
We cover Exton, about 57 miles from central London.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Exton?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
