Typical removal jobs in Hunston
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Garage roof sheets
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
In older buildings across Hunston, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Questions to ask before booking
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- If the price includes VAT
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Waste disposal and the consignment note

Common questions in Hunston
Do you come out to small villages like Hunston?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos common in Hunston homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Hunston may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Step by step

Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions. Outdoor removal in Hunston is planned to finish in daylight: that means by about 4:00pm in December, or about 9:20pm in June.

- We confirm what the material is and what category of work it falls into
- We quote in writing, including the waste
- On the agreed date we set up the work area and remove the material carefully

Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
What we do and do not cover
To be clear about the scope:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Flue pipes
- Artex and textured coatings
- Water tanks
- Panels and boards
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits (cement)
