About our asbestos removal in Little Hungerford
If your builder has found suspect material in Little Hungerford, stop work in that area and keep people away. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. Typical jobs include flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and old waste on site, including cement roof sheets, gutters and downpipes and textured coatings.
In towns and villages like Little Hungerford, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Water tanks
- Bitumen roof felt
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Panels and boards
- Soffits (cement)
- Gutters and downpipes
- Artex and textured coatings
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Garage and shed roofs
- Flue pipes
Which option is right?
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Where asbestos turns up
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Loft water tanks
- Asbestos garages
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Finds during refurbishment
At a school such as Hermitage Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
