Asbestos removal for Lower Brailes properties
Removal is not always the answer. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll tell you honestly when that’s the case. People often contact us about broken sheets in gardens and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos, including textured coatings, gutters and downpipes and floor tiles.
Rural removal near Lower Brailes can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Afterwards
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, as the method may need to change.
Going forward:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Tell us about parking and access
What to avoid
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.

Weighing up your options
Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Why people choose us
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance

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.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Materials, one by one
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
Why people call us in Lower Brailes
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
These are some of the things we deal with in Lower Brailes:
- Loft water tanks
- Garage roof sheets
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Artex before plastering
In older buildings across Lower Brailes, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Questions to ask before booking
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- If the price includes VAT
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- How fibres will be kept down

How can I get a price?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
What happens to the waste?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.

Not always. Cement and textured coatings are usually non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Lower Brailes?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
