Asbestos removal in Offham
Asbestos removal in Offham
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Typical jobs include cement flues and gutters and loft water tanks, involving gutters and downpipes, cement soffits and flue pipes.
In towns and villages like Offham, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
After we have finished in Offham
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it in advance.
Some practical advice:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Let us know where we can park
Don’ts
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Typical removal jobs in Offham
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
These are some of the things we deal with in Offham:
- Loft water tanks
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Old flues
For non-domestic buildings like Offham Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

Be wary of a price that seems too low: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
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.
