How asbestos removal works in Leverton
You don’t always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will tell you honestly when that’s the case. From outbuildings with cement roofs and garage roof sheets, we cover gutters and downpipes, flue pipes and water tanks and more.
In Leverton, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. We only recommend work that is needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

What happens next
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
Some practical advice:
- Let us know where we can park
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Book the replacement before removal
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Leverton must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
