Asbestos removal near Fifield
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Typical jobs include garage roofs and whole garages and old sheds and coal bunkers, including gutters and downpipes, cement roof sheets and floor tiles.
Rural removal near Fifield can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Typical removal jobs in Fifield
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Old cold water tanks
- Finds during refurbishment
- Old waste on site
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
For rentals close to Shipton station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Fifield
Do older homes in Fifield have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. 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 Fifield?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
What happens to the waste?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
What’s included, and what isn’t
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and does not cover:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
