- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is normally separate

About our asbestos removal in Glympton
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. We often deal with cement roof sheets, flue pipes and cement soffits, and typical jobs are flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and old sheds and coal bunkers.
In Glympton, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Questions from Glympton
Could my house in Glympton contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Glympton can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Glympton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
The process
As each piece comes out, it’s bagged or wrapped and labelled, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. In winter, the light goes in Glympton by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- We test the material if needed
- We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
- On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
- The area is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with paperwork
Getting ready
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Keep children and pets away on the day

Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
For businesses and landlords in Glympton
For managing agents and freeholders in Glympton, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Where asbestos turns up
Sometimes damage forces the issue, especially if broken material is lying around.
These are some of the things we deal with in Glympton:
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Debris left from a previous job
- Old flues
Older buildings in Glympton, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Before you book anyone
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Suitable insurance for the work
How we price asbestos removal
What changes the cost:
- How much there is

A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with sanders or grinders.
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
After we have finished in Glympton
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, as the method may need to change.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
Things not to do
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
