Asbestos removal in Neames Forstal
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. From vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and cement flues and gutters, we deal with flue pipes, cement roof sheets and cement soffits.
In a village like Neames Forstal, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Neames Forstal questions
Is asbestos common in Neames Forstal homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Neames Forstal may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Neames Forstal from London?
Neames Forstal is about 47 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.

Duty holders and landlords in Neames Forstal

Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
