Common questions in Poyle
Do older homes in Poyle have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Poyle may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover small places like Poyle?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
What does removal cost?
There’s no fixed price: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
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.
What we deal with in Poyle
Old materials break down over time: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.
These come up again and again:
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Loft water tanks
- Materials found mid-project
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
In a school like Pippins School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
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.
After the job
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it proves legal disposal.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Share any survey or test results
- Tell us about parking and access
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Things not to do
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
