Asbestos removal for Guestling properties
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. We often deal with cement soffits, cement roof sheets and floor tiles, and people usually contact us about loft water tanks and asbestos garages.
Rural removal near Guestling can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Guestling
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Loft water tanks
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
For non-domestic buildings like Guestling Bradshaw Church of England Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

FAQs for Guestling
Could my house in Guestling contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Guestling?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
What does removal cost?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. Every job gets a written quote.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Often it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
