Asbestos removal near Lodge Lees
Asbestos removal in Lodge Lees
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. Whether it’s old floor tiles and black adhesive and old waste on site, we cover flue pipes, floor tiles and gutters and downpipes and more.
In areas like Lodge Lees, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

A closer look at the materials
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
Prices and what affects them
What drives the price:
- How many samples are needed
- The size of the job
- Material and condition
- Parking and access charges
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Sending photos
The most useful photos are:
- Street parking nearby
- The access route
- A close-up from a safe distance
- A photo of the whole area
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page; it helps us quote accurately.
After we have finished in Lodge Lees
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
A few practical points:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- File the consignment note
What to avoid
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Duty holders and landlords in Lodge Lees
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Lodge Lees must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Lodge Lees
Do you cover Lodge Lees and the area around Shepherds Well station?
Yes. Shepherds Well station is about 3 miles east of Lodge Lees, and we cover both.
Do you come out to small villages like Lodge Lees?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
