About our asbestos removal in High Cogges
Removal is not always the answer. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll say so. We often deal with cement roof sheets, floor tiles and flue pipes, and typical jobs are old floor tiles and black adhesive and outbuildings with cement roofs.
Rural removal near High Cogges can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
How it works
Once removal is finished, we clean and check the area, and we talk you through what was done. We’ll tell you when we have finished and what you’ll receive afterwards. Late-December sunset in High Cogges is about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
- 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
- On the agreed date we set up the work area and remove the material carefully
- We clean the area and send the consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Tell us about parking and access

Your questions about asbestos removal in High Cogges
Do you come out to small villages like High Cogges?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work near Combe station?
Yes. Combe station is about 4.5 miles north-east of High Cogges, and we cover both.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
How can I get a price?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Where asbestos turns up
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.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Old waste on site
- Old flues
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Floor tiles before a new floor
Landlords near Combe station often time removal for when a property is empty.

Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:

Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Photos that help
What to photograph:
- Damaged areas
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Visible markings

What’s included, and what isn’t

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

Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Weighing up your options
Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. Every quote says whether VAT is included.
