A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.

It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and does not cover:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

- Soffits (cement)
- Artex and textured coatings
- Bitumen roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes

DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Piddington, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.

Piddington questions
Do you cover Piddington from London?
Piddington is about 33 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you come out to small villages like Piddington?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
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.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
What happens next
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it proves legal disposal.
Some practical advice:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Let us know where we can park
- Book the replacement before removal
Avoid these
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
What it costs
We base our quote on:
- Travel and parking
- The quantity or area
- Material and condition
- Waste quantity and disposal
A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Photos that help
