Asbestos removal for Lunsford properties
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. We often deal with gutters and downpipes, flue pipes and floor tiles, and people usually contact us about Artex ceilings before renovation and outbuildings with cement roofs.
Properties in towns and villages like Lunsford with larger plots can have more than one cement-roofed building, which can often be dealt with together. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
After the job
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, because the plan may need to change.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Book the replacement before removal
What to avoid
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.

Lunsford questions
Do you work near New Hythe station?
Yes, we cover Lunsford and the area towards New Hythe station, about 0.7 miles east.
Do older homes in Lunsford have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How can I get a price?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
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.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Good to know
The usual limits are:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Materials, one by one
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- How much waste there is
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Access to the area
- Travel and parking
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
