Asbestos removal for Purbrook Heath properties
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is typically non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, which still means proper controls. Common materials are floor tiles, flue pipes and cement soffits, and typical jobs are old waste on site and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos.
In areas like Purbrook Heath, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.

Avoid these
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
