The scope of asbestos removal
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Panels and boards
- Flue pipes
- Bitumen roof felt
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks
- Soffits (cement)
- Gutters and downpipes
- Asbestos cement sheets
Why people call us in Shalstone
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, though in good condition it does not always need to go.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Asbestos garages
- Floor tiles before a new floor
In older buildings across Shalstone, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

A closer look at the materials

Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
Which option is right?
Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.

Shalstone: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Shalstone homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Shalstone from London?
Shalstone is about 55 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
What happens to the waste?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
