How we work

- 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

How asbestos removal works in Moorstock
Every removal job in Moorstock is planned first: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed. Whether it’s asbestos garages and broken sheets in gardens, we cover floor tiles, gutters and downpipes and cement roof sheets.
In Moorstock, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

What it might be made of
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Moorstock, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Moorstock
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Garage roofs and whole garages
In older properties in Moorstock, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.
What your quote should include
- Which areas and materials are covered

Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
- Making good is normally a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
