Asbestos removal near Platt
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. People often contact us about finds during refurbishment and garage roof sheets, involving gutters and downpipes, floor tiles and water tanks.
In a village like Platt, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Helpful guides
Duty holders and landlords in Platt
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 Platt were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Materials we deal with
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Platt
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Asbestos garages
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Cement water tanks in lofts
In a school like Platt Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
What to look for in a quote
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- How fibres will be kept down
- Whether VAT is included
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note

It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and does not cover:

- Gutters and downpipes
- Soffits (cement)
- Bitumen roof felt

- Keep children and pets away on the day

- Let us know where we can park
