Asbestos removal near Padbury
How asbestos removal works in Padbury
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. People often contact us about garage roofs and whole garages and loft water tanks, involving cement soffits, cement roof sheets and flue pipes.
In areas like Padbury, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Which option is right?
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Common questions in Padbury
Do you come out to small villages like Padbury?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos common in Padbury homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are usually non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Where does the asbestos go?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site, and you receive the consignment note.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Padbury
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Typical jobs in Padbury include:
- Asbestos found during building work
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Loft water tanks
- Broken sheets in gardens
Older buildings in Padbury, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Questions to ask before you book
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- The method and controls
- If the price includes VAT
- Which areas and materials are covered
After we have finished in Padbury
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Let us know where we can park
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Avoid these
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
