Asbestos removal in Perham Down
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Whether it’s debris left from a previous job and old cold water tanks, we cover cement roof sheets, water tanks and cement soffits.
In a village like Perham Down, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Perham Down: your questions answered
How far is Perham Down from London?
Perham Down is about 69 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you come out to small villages like Perham Down?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
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 does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Materials, one by one
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Your options compared
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and disposal still has to be done properly. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

Duty holders and landlords in Perham Down

If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Perham Down, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
