Asbestos removal in Letcombe Regis
How asbestos removal works in Letcombe Regis
We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across Letcombe Regis: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. Typical jobs include asbestos found during building work and cement water tanks in lofts, involving cement roof sheets, floor tiles and water tanks.
In Letcombe Regis, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Limits to be aware of
So you know what to expect:
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Common materials
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits (cement)
- Bitumen roof felt
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Flue pipes
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Panels and boards
- Water tanks
- Gutters and downpipes
- Garage and shed roofs
For businesses and landlords in Letcombe Regis
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If your business premises in Letcombe Regis were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
What happens next
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, as the method may need to change.
Once we are done:
- Book the replacement before removal
- File the consignment note
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Avoid these
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Letcombe Regis
Do older homes in Letcombe Regis have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Letcombe Regis can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you come out to small villages like Letcombe Regis?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
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.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
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.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
What happens to the waste?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note as your record.
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
The process
Unexpected materials mean we pause and discuss, rather than carrying on regardless. We begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing, so there’s no confusion. In winter, the light goes in Letcombe Regis by about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Send us the postcode and photos
- We check whether it’s licensed, notifiable or non-licensed work
- We agree a date and any notification needed
- On the day we set up, remove and bag the material
- We dispose of the waste legally and send the paperwork
How to prepare
- Ensure we can get to the area
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them

Which option is right?
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
