Asbestos removal in Horsebridge
Asbestos removal in Horsebridge
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical materials include cement soffits, floor tiles and cement roof sheets, and people generally contact us about loft water tanks and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes.
In Horsebridge, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Afterwards
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Share any survey or test results
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Book the replacement before removal
Don’ts
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.

Questions from Horsebridge
Is asbestos common in Horsebridge homes?
Any home in Horsebridge built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Horsebridge from London?
We cover Horsebridge, about 68 miles from central London.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?

When can you start?

Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
