Helpful guides
Asbestos removal in Fairbourne Heath
Removal is not always the answer. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll tell you honestly when that is the case. We often deal with flue pipes, water tanks and cement soffits, and typical jobs are Artex ceilings before renovation and old waste on site.
Rural removal near Fairbourne Heath can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Looking after things afterwards
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, because the plan may need to change.
Going forward:
- File the consignment note
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Share any survey or test results
Things not to do
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
