How asbestos removal works in Little Atherfield
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, with a consignment note for your records. From vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and materials found mid-project, we deal with floor tiles, cement roof sheets and water tanks and more.
Rural removal near Little Atherfield can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Looking after things afterwards
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
What to avoid
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Where asbestos turns up
Damage from DIY, storms or accidents can make removal necessary, especially if broken material is lying around.
These come up again and again:
- Finds during refurbishment
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Cement water tanks in lofts
Before you book anyone

What it costs
We base our quote on:
- What the material is and its state
- Travel and parking
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space

A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
