How asbestos removal works in Pittswood
We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across Pittswood: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Every job is planned to HSE guidance, with the waste taken to a permitted site. Typical materials include cement roof sheets, flue pipes and textured coatings, and typical jobs are sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes.
Rural removal near Pittswood can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Pittswood: your questions answered
Do older homes in Pittswood have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Pittswood may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Pittswood?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Pittswood?
There is no fixed price: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Duty holders and landlords in Pittswood
If you manage or own a block in Pittswood, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
What happens next
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is usually a separate job, so plan it in advance.
Keeping things safe:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Let us know where we can park
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Book the replacement before removal
Don’ts
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
What it might be made of
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
The scope of asbestos removal
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate

Doing it yourself?

A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
What it costs
When we quote, we look at:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The size of the job
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Licensed or non-licensed
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Photos that help
The most useful photos are:
- A close-up from a safe distance

The process
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, and keep the material wet as we work. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you before carrying on. Late-December sunset in Pittswood is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Get in touch with the details of the job
- We check whether it’s licensed, notifiable or non-licensed work
- We agree a date and any notification needed
- On the day we set up, remove and bag the material
- We dispose of the waste legally and send the paperwork
