Helpful guides
Asbestos removal in Forty Hill
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. We often deal with gutters and downpipes, flue pipes and water tanks, and people normally contact us about Artex before plastering and outbuildings with cement roofs.
In towns and villages like Forty Hill, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Questions from Forty Hill
Is asbestos common in Forty Hill homes?
Any home in Forty Hill built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Turkey Street station?
Yes. Turkey Street station is about 1 mile north-east of Forty Hill, and we cover both.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Your options compared
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, rather than halting work when it’s found. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Looking after things afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, so future trades know about it.
To avoid problems in future:
- File the consignment note
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Send photos of the material and the access
Avoid these
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
