Asbestos removal for Molash properties

We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Common materials are cement soffits, floor tiles and water tanks, and typical jobs are floor tiles before a new floor and finds during refurbishment.

In a village like Molash, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Responsibilities for owners

Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Molash must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Materials we deal with

Textured coatings

Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.

Bitumen and felt

They’re removed by hand.

Which option is right?

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. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Why people choose us

  • Identify first, remove only when needed
  • Accredited laboratory results
  • Jobs planned to HSE guidance
  • Domestic and commercial work

See our prices page and our cost guide.

Where asbestos turns up

Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, although sound material can often stay.

Typical jobs in Molash include:

  • Textured coatings
  • Materials found mid-project
  • Old cold water tanks
  • Old sheds and coal bunkers

Landlords near Wye station often time removal for when a property is empty.

Before booking anyone

  • How fibres will be kept down
  • What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
  • Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
  • Waste disposal and the consignment note

Choosing an asbestos contractor

Prices and what affects them

We base our quote on:

  • How much waste there is
  • What the material is and its state
  • How many samples are needed
  • The size of the job

When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.

What to photograph

To help us quote quickly, send:

  • Labels, if any
  • An overall view
  • The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
  • Damaged areas

We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form to get started.

What happens next

If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.

A few practical points:

  • Let us know where we can park
  • Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
  • Book the replacement before removal
  • Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards

Don’ts

Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.

Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.

Can I do it myself?

If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Step by step

As each piece comes out, it’s bagged or wrapped and labelled, ready to go to a permitted site. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions. We plan outdoor jobs in Molash to finish before dark: that means by about 3:50pm in December, or about 9:15pm in June.

  1. Send us the postcode and photos
  2. We work out what category the work falls into
  3. We agree a date and any notification needed
  4. We set up the work area and remove the material
  5. The waste goes to a permitted site with a consignment note

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep away from the material in the meantime
  • Ensure we can get to the area
  • Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material

Your questions about asbestos removal in Molash

Is asbestos common in Molash homes?

That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Molash can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Do you come out to small villages like Molash?

We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.

Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?

HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Should all asbestos be removed?

No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.

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.

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 the weather’s bad?

That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.

Do I need to be at home?

We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.

  • Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
  • Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
  • Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
  • Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
