Asbestos removal for North Heath
About our asbestos removal in North Heath
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, with a consignment note for your records. People often contact us about cement flues and gutters and garage roofs and whole garages, involving floor tiles, gutters and downpipes and water tanks.
In places like North Heath, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in North Heath must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Afterwards
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
To avoid problems in future:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Share any survey or test results
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Avoid these
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.

How much does asbestos removal cost in North Heath?
Every job is priced individually: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Materials we deal with
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Which option is right?
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Why people choose us
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
