How asbestos removal works in Plastow Green
Removal is planned, not improvised: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed. Whether it’s garage roof sheets and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos, we cover cement soffits, gutters and downpipes and textured coatings and more.
In places like Plastow Green, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

After we’ve finished in Plastow Green
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- File the consignment note
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Let us know where we can park
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Don’ts
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
How it works
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, then keep the material damp throughout. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we will do before we start. We plan outdoor jobs in Plastow Green to finish before dark: that means by about 4:00pm in December, or about 9:25pm in June.
- Tell us what needs removing and send photos
- We test the material if needed
- We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
- On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
- The area is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with paperwork

More for properties in Plastow Green
Where asbestos turns up
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Loft water tanks
- Old flues
- Garage roof sheets
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
In older properties in Plastow Green, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.

- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- What isn’t included
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.

Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
