Asbestos removal for Preston Bissett
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Asbestos removal in Preston Bissett
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. People often contact us about asbestos found during building work and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes, involving textured coatings, cement roof sheets and floor tiles.
Rural removal near Preston Bissett can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Questions from Preston Bissett
Do you cover small places like Preston Bissett?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in Preston Bissett have asbestos?
If your home in Preston Bissett was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It varies: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings generally are not licensed.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can I stay at home during removal?
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: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.

DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Where asbestos turns up
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
In older properties, we often see:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Asbestos found during building work
- Garage roof sheets
Older buildings in Preston Bissett, near Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.

Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Travel and parking
- The size of the job
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
