About our asbestos removal in Foreland Fields
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 materials include flue pipes, textured coatings and water tanks, and people usually contact us about finds during refurbishment and garage roofs and whole garages.
In towns and villages like Foreland Fields, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Typical removal jobs in Foreland Fields
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Asbestos found during building work
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes

Questions from Foreland Fields
Do older homes in Foreland Fields have asbestos?
Any home in Foreland Fields built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Foreland Fields?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Where does the asbestos go?
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.
Which option is right?
Should it come out? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
