Asbestos removal in Sevington
In homes, in Sevington as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. Work on these is typically non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, which still means proper controls. Whether it’s cement water tanks in lofts and garage roofs and whole garages, we deal with textured coatings, cement soffits and cement roof sheets.
Rural removal near Sevington can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
FAQs for Sevington
Do you come out to small villages like Sevington?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Sevington contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are usually non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Your options compared
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
