Asbestos removal in Penton Grafton
Asbestos removal in Penton Grafton
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. People often contact us about flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and old cold water tanks, involving water tanks, flue pipes and floor tiles.
In a village like Penton Grafton, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

What it might be made of
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, typically tightly bound.
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
What it costs
Our quotes take into account:
- Disposal costs
- The size of the job
- Travel and parking
- Licensed or non-licensed
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Photos that help
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Labels, if any
- Where we could park
- An overall view
Unsure whether you need a test, a survey or removal? Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page, and we’ll advise.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Penton Grafton
Damage from DIY, storms or accidents can make removal necessary, especially if broken material is lying around.
In older properties, we often see:
- Asbestos found during building work
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes

In older buildings across Penton Grafton, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.

Duty holders and landlords in Penton Grafton
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If your business premises in Penton Grafton were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.

Can I remove asbestos myself?

Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.

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.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
What happens next
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Things not to do
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
