Materials, one by one
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, usually tightly bound.
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Your options compared
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.

Lower Green questions
Do you come out to small villages like Lower Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work near Kintbury station?
Yes, we cover Lower Green and the area towards Kintbury station, about 2.4 miles north-east.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.

Where asbestos turns up
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Typical jobs in Lower Green include:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Textured coatings
- Finds during refurbishment
- Old flues
For non-domestic buildings like Inkpen Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- What category of work it is
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
After we’ve finished in Lower Green
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, so future trades know about it.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Book the replacement before removal
- Share any survey or test results
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
Don’ts
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Step by step
Materials are released carefully and removed whole where possible, never broken up, dropped or cut with power tools. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening.
