Asbestos removal near Flemings
Asbestos removal for Flemings properties
In homes, in Flemings as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. Work on these is usually non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, which still means proper controls. Common materials are water tanks, textured coatings and cement soffits, and typical jobs are old sheds and coal bunkers and garage roofs and whole garages.
In a village like Flemings, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
What we deal with in Flemings
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Loft water tanks
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Cement flues and gutters
- Materials found mid-project
For non-domestic buildings like Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

FAQs for Flemings
How far is Flemings from London?
We cover Flemings, about 61 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Flemings?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Not always. Cement and textured coatings are usually non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that won’t be disturbed can be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
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.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
