Asbestos removal for High Cross properties
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. People often contact us about textured coatings and materials found mid-project, including gutters and downpipes, textured coatings and floor tiles.
In a village like High Cross, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

What else we do in High Cross
Common questions in High Cross
Could my house in High Cross contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like High Cross?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Where asbestos turns up
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
These come up again and again:
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Materials found mid-project
- Old flues
- Artex ceilings before renovation
On busy roads like the B2101, loading the waste needs planning, so mention it.
What your quote should include
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Suitable insurance for the work
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- What category of work it is
What happens next
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.
Some practical advice:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Tell us about any previous survey
What to avoid
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
