Asbestos removal in Portmore
Asbestos removal for Portmore properties
In homes, in Portmore as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. Work on these is generally non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, which still means proper controls. Common materials are textured coatings, flue pipes and gutters and downpipes, and people normally contact us about finds during refurbishment and cement flues and gutters.
In a village like Portmore, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

After the job
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
Some practical advice:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Share any survey or test results
What to avoid
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Where asbestos turns up
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Cement flues and gutters
- Broken sheets in gardens
In older buildings across Portmore, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Is asbestos removal licensed?
