About our asbestos removal in Minster
If your builder has found suspect material in Minster, stop work in that area and keep people away. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. Typical jobs include vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and Artex ceilings before renovation, involving cement roof sheets, cement soffits and textured coatings.
In a town like Minster, removal jobs are often garage roofs, sheds, flues, tanks and textured coatings in homes, normally before renovation. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Why people call us in Minster
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Materials found mid-project
- Old waste on site
- Artex before plastering
- Loft water tanks
In older properties in Minster, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.

Minster questions
Do you cover Minster and the area around Queenborough station?

Do you cover Minster from London?
We cover Minster, about 39 miles from central London.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It doesn’t always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Which option is right?
What kind of work is it? The material and the job decide. See our guide to the three categories. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

What it might be made of
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, normally tightly bound.
Looking after things afterwards
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, because the plan may need to change.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Send photos of the material and the access
What to avoid
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.

DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
