Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Riseley must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Asbestos removal near Riseley
If your builder has found suspect material in Riseley, stop work in that area and keep people away. We will identify it and plan what happens next. We often deal with floor tiles, water tanks and cement soffits, and typical jobs are materials found mid-project and broken sheets in gardens.
In areas like Riseley, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Typical removal jobs in Riseley
Sometimes damage forces the issue, especially if broken material is lying around.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Old waste on site
- Asbestos garages
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Cement water tanks in lofts
In older buildings across Riseley, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.
Questions to ask before you book
- VAT, clearly stated
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- The method and controls
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
After we have finished in Riseley
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, as the method may need to change.
Going forward:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Tell us about parking and access
- File the consignment note
- Book the replacement before removal
Avoid these
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Materials, one by one
Insulating board and lagging

Riseley: your questions answered
How far is Riseley from London?
Riseley is about 39 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover small places like Riseley?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.

Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.

Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
How can I get a price?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
