How asbestos removal works in Goodnestone
Higher-risk materials such as pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We’ll tell you if your job in Goodnestone falls into that category. We often deal with cement soffits, water tanks and floor tiles, and people generally contact us about materials found mid-project and garage roofs and whole garages.
Rural removal near Goodnestone can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Looking after things afterwards
File the waste paperwork safely: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
Keeping things safe:
- File the consignment note
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
Avoid these
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
FAQs for Goodnestone
How far is Goodnestone from London?
We cover Goodnestone, about 60 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Goodnestone?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Responsibilities for owners
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

Which option is right?
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
What you get
- Identify first, remove only when needed

Good to know
Worth knowing before booking:
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal

If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.

- Gutters and downpipes

Should you do it yourself?

Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
How it works
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, then keep the material damp throughout. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. We plan outdoor jobs in Goodnestone to finish before dark: in late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:15pm.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We confirm what the material is and what category of work it falls into
- A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can
- Everything is cleaned up, and the waste paperwork follows
Before we arrive
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
