Asbestos removal in Guilton
Removal is not always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will tell you honestly when that is the case. From textured coatings and loft water tanks, we deal with cement roof sheets, flue pipes and textured coatings.
In towns and villages like Guilton, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Before you book anyone
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- What category of work it is
Good to know
Worth knowing before you book:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Common materials
- Bitumen roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits (cement)
- Flue pipes
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Panels and boards
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Water tanks
Choosing the right option
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, rather than halting work when it’s found. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
How we work in Guilton
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Clear advice on your options
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations

A closer look at the materials
Water tanks and flues
A Gas Safe engineer disconnects any gas appliance first.
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
After we have finished in Guilton
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Avoid these
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
What it costs
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- How much there is
- Material and condition
- Parking and access charges
A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- An overall view
- Approximate dimensions
- Damaged areas
- Visible markings
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Guilton
Do you cover small places like Guilton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do older homes in Guilton have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Guilton may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Can I stay at home during removal?
For outdoor jobs, you can generally stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
What does removal cost?
There is no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
