About our asbestos removal in Leigh
Asbestos removal in Leigh covers homes, rental property and workplaces: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. From outbuildings with cement roofs and debris left from a previous job, we deal with gutters and downpipes, flue pipes and textured coatings.
In a village like Leigh, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
For managing agents and freeholders in Leigh, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
What happens
We unfix materials and take them out in whole pieces where we can, without breaking, dropping or power tools. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first. In winter, the light goes in Leigh by about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- We test it if needed and plan the job
- You get a written quote, including waste disposal
- We remove it with controls to keep fibres down
- The area is cleaned and you get the consignment note

Looking after things afterwards
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Share any survey or test results
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
Avoid these
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.

Leigh questions
Do you cover Leigh and the area around Leigh (Kent) station?
Yes. Leigh (Kent) station is close to the centre of Leigh, and we cover the whole area.
Do you cover small places like Leigh?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs do not normally affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Where asbestos turns up
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
For non-domestic buildings like Leigh Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
What your quote should include
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- If the price includes VAT
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
