About our asbestos removal in Michelmersh
We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across Michelmersh: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Every job is planned to HSE guidance, with the waste taken to a permitted site. Typical materials include floor tiles, water tanks and gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are broken sheets in gardens and Artex before plastering.
In places like Michelmersh, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
If you run a business from older premises in Michelmersh, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
How it works
Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, ready to go to a permitted site. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. Late-December sunset in Michelmersh is about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
- We plan the job and send a written quote
- On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
- The area is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Clear the way to the work area
- Warn neighbours if needed

How we price asbestos removal
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Disposal costs
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The quantity or area
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- A rough size or measurement
- Where we could park
- Cracks or breaks
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
Every job is quoted in writing. Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
Typical removal jobs in Michelmersh
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Textured coatings
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Old waste on site
- Garage roofs and whole garages
Older buildings in Michelmersh, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Before booking anyone
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Suitable insurance for the work
- What isn’t included
- Whether the job needs notifying

FAQs for Michelmersh
Do you cover Michelmersh from London?
We cover Michelmersh, about 69 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Michelmersh homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.
Where does the asbestos go?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site, with a consignment note as your record.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
