Asbestos removal for Orlestone properties
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. Whether it’s asbestos found during building work and asbestos garages, we cover cement soffits, water tanks and flue pipes and more.
In a village like Orlestone, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If your business premises in Orlestone were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
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.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with power tools.
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
How it works
We wear disposable coveralls and suitable respirators, and nobody else enters the work area. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first. Late-December sunset in Orlestone is about 3:50pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

Orlestone questions
Do you come out to small villages like Orlestone?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Orlestone from London?
Orlestone is about 50 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What happens to the waste?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.

What else we do in Orlestone
What we deal with in Orlestone
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Textured coatings
- Finds during refurbishment
- Old waste on site
- Old flues
For non-domestic buildings like Hamstreet Primary Academy, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
Before booking anyone
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- Suitable insurance for the work
