Asbestos removal in Old Warren
Removal is not always the answer. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll tell you honestly when that’s the case. People often contact us about flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and old waste on site, including flue pipes, floor tiles and cement roof sheets.
In towns and villages like Old Warren, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Questions from Old Warren
Do you cover small places like Old Warren?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Old Warren contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Old Warren may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can I stay at home during removal?
For outdoor jobs, you can usually stay put. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
After the job
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
Once we are done:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Send photos of the material and the access
What to avoid
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
What it might be made of
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
What we do and don’t cover
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Should you do it yourself?
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.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
