Materials, one by one

Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
About our asbestos removal in Maypole
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is usually non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. Typical materials include textured coatings, floor tiles and gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are asbestos garages and old sheds and coal bunkers.
Rural removal near Maypole can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. We only recommend work that is needed.

How we price asbestos removal
What drives the price:
- What the material is and its state
- The size of the job
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Waste quantity and disposal
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.
What to photograph
A few photos can save a site visit:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Where we could park
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A close-up from a safe distance
Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is generally a separate job, so plan it in advance.
Keeping things safe:
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Avoid these
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Common questions in Maypole
Do you cover small places like Maypole?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos common in Maypole homes?
If your home in Maypole was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.

Helpful guides
Typical removal jobs in Maypole
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.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Materials found mid-project
- Garage roof sheets
In older buildings across Maypole, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.
What your quote should include
- Any exclusions
- What paperwork you get
- The method and controls

For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Maypole must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
