How asbestos removal works in Shawford
In homes, in Shawford as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. Common materials are water tanks, cement roof sheets and gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are old sheds and coal bunkers and old cold water tanks.
In Shawford, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
What it might be made of
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Shawford
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Old flues
- Finds during refurbishment
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Broken sheets in gardens
In a school like Compton All Saints Church of England Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
