How asbestos removal works in Gill's Green
You don’t always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will say so. Whether it’s loft water tanks and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos, we deal with water tanks, gutters and downpipes and flue pipes.
In a village like Gill's Green, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you run a business from older premises in Gill's Green, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
The process
Materials are released carefully and removed whole where possible, never broken up, dropped or cut with power tools. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you. In winter, the light goes in Gill's Green by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Debris left from a previous job
- Old cold water tanks
- Cement flues and gutters
