DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Materials we deal with
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
FAQs for Heaverham
Do older homes in Heaverham have asbestos?
If your home in Heaverham was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Heaverham?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are typically non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
What does removal cost?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. We quote each job individually.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.

Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Send photos of the material and the access
- File the consignment note
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Avoid these
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
