How asbestos removal works in Parkgate
Licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We’ll tell you if your job in Parkgate falls into that category. Common materials are flue pipes, floor tiles and cement roof sheets, and people typically contact us about broken sheets in gardens and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos.
Rural removal near Parkgate can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Parkgate
Do you cover Parkgate and the area around Holmwood station?
Yes, we cover Parkgate and the area towards Holmwood station, about 2.1 miles west.
Do you cover small places like Parkgate?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What does removal cost?
Every job is priced individually: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor jobs don’t normally affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Materials we deal with
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
