Asbestos removal in Lower Swanwick
Removal is not always the answer. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll say so. We often deal with floor tiles, textured coatings and cement roof sheets, and people usually contact us about cement water tanks in lofts and outbuildings with cement roofs.
In places like Lower Swanwick, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Lower Swanwick: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Lower Swanwick?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Lower Swanwick contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Lower Swanwick may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
For businesses and landlords in Lower Swanwick
If your business premises in Lower Swanwick were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
