What else we do in Moortown
The scope of asbestos removal
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Common materials
- Gutters and downpipes
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Panels and boards
- Soffits (cement)
- Flue pipes
- Artex and textured coatings
- Bitumen roof felt
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks
- Floor tiles and adhesive
Which option is right?
Remove, or leave and manage? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is typically right. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why us?
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- No removal until we know what it is
- Reports and results you can share
See how we quote and published price ranges.
What it costs
When we quote, we look at:
- The category of work
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Access to the area
- Disposal costs
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- The access route
- Street parking nearby
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
Not sure what you need? Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 and describe the problem, and we’ll recommend the right option.
Moortown questions
Do you come out to small villages like Moortown?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Moortown homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Moortown?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Materials we deal with
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
After we have finished in Moortown
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, as the method may need to change.
Going forward:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Send photos of the material and the access
- File the consignment note
Avoid these
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Step by step
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, and keep the material wet as we work. We will tell you when we’ve finished and what you’ll receive afterwards. Late-December sunset in Moortown is about 4:05pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- We identify it if needed and plan the method
- You get a written quote, including waste disposal
- We remove it with controls to keep fibres down
- The area is cleaned and you get the consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Keep children and pets away on the day

The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
