DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Common questions in Poffley End
Could my house in Poffley End contain asbestos?
Any home in Poffley End built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Poffley End and the area around Finstock station?
Yes, we cover Poffley End and the area towards Finstock station, about 3 miles north.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
What happens to the waste?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Poffley End?
Every job is priced individually: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Typical removal jobs in Poffley End
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Asbestos garages
- Textured coatings
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
Older buildings in Poffley End, near Church of St John the Evangelist or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- The scope of the job, in writing
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
How we price asbestos removal
