For non-domestic buildings like Langdon Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

How asbestos removal works in Martin
Removal is planned, not improvised: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed, before anyone starts. Typical jobs include old flues and old floor tiles and black adhesive, including floor tiles, gutters and downpipes and flue pipes.
In a village like Martin, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

- A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Prices and what affects them
Our quotes take into account:
- The category of work
- Location, parking and any London charges
- What the material is and its state
- The survey scope
A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Where we could park
- An overall view
Photos from a safe distance help: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate

Questions from Martin
Do you cover Martin from London?
Martin is about 66 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover small places like Martin?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
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.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is typically a separate job, so plan it in advance.
After we have finished:
- Share any survey or test results
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Keep children and pets away on the day
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Choosing the right option
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why choose us
- Clear written quotes
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Reports and results you can share
Read how we price jobs or our cost guide.
Materials we deal with
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
