About our asbestos removal in Sandford St Martin
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. We often deal with textured coatings, cement soffits and flue pipes, and people generally contact us about Artex before plastering and garage roof sheets.
In a village like Sandford St Martin, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Responsibilities for owners
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Sandford St Martin, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling

What to avoid
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
What it might be made of
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
