Asbestos removal in Home Farm
Asbestos removal for Home Farm properties
Removal isn’t always the answer. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will say so. People often contact us about broken sheets in gardens and finds during refurbishment, involving floor tiles, gutters and downpipes and cement roof sheets.
In a village like Home Farm, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Helpful guides
After we’ve finished in Home Farm
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, so future trades know about it.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
What to avoid
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Weighing up your options
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.

Materials we deal with
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

Do you cover small places like Home Farm?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How far is Home Farm from London?
Home Farm is about 31 miles from central London, well within our area.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do I need to move out?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
