Typical removal jobs in Niton

People typically contact us about one of these:
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Loft water tanks
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Floor tiles before a new floor

Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
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.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Niton
Do you cover small places like Niton?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Niton contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Niton may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are typically non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.

After the job
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Some practical advice:
- File the consignment note
- Share any survey or test results
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Book the replacement before removal
Avoid these
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.

Responsibilities for owners
For managing agents and freeholders in Niton, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Prices and what affects them
Our quotes take into account:
