Asbestos removal in Peasemore
How asbestos removal works in Peasemore
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, which still means proper controls. We often deal with flue pipes, textured coatings and cement soffits, and typical jobs are materials found mid-project and Artex before plastering.
In areas like Peasemore, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. We only recommend work that is needed.

Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Making good is normally a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Where asbestos turns up
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.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Debris left from a previous job
- Old flues
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
Older buildings in Peasemore, near Church of St Barnabas or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Before you book anyone
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- VAT, clearly stated
Looking after things afterwards
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.
To avoid problems in future:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Things not to do
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, which is generally well bound.

FAQs for Peasemore
Do you cover small places like Peasemore?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How far is Peasemore from London?
Peasemore is about 54 miles from central London, well within our area.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
