Asbestos removal for Great Holcombe properties
Every removal job in Great Holcombe is planned first: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. From asbestos garages and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes, we cover cement roof sheets, textured coatings and gutters and downpipes and more.
Rural removal near Great Holcombe 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.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
After the job
File the waste paperwork safely: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Don’ts
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
What we deal with in Great Holcombe
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Loft water tanks
- Asbestos garages
- Old waste on site
In older buildings across Great Holcombe, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.
What to look for in a quote
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- The documents you’ll receive
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
Weighing up your options
What kind of work is it? It depends on what the material is and what’s being done. Our guide explains the difference, with links to HSE’s pages. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Why us?
- Domestic and commercial work
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it

Your questions about asbestos removal in Great Holcombe
Do you cover small places like Great Holcombe?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Great Holcombe 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 Great Holcombe can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.

What else we do in Great Holcombe
Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with power tools.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
