Asbestos removal near Sheldwich

Higher-risk materials such as pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We will tell you if your job in Sheldwich falls into that category. We often deal with cement roof sheets, textured coatings and floor tiles, and typical jobs are old flues and materials found mid-project.

In a village like Sheldwich, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Sheldwich: your questions answered

Do older homes in Sheldwich have asbestos?

It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Sheldwich can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Do you cover small places like Sheldwich?

Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.

Is asbestos removal licensed?

It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.

Can you advise before I buy a property?

Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.

Do you work in flats?

We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.

How can I get a price?

Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.

Can I put asbestos in a skip?

Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.

How dangerous is asbestos?

Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.

About asbestos removal

What it might be made of

Insulating board and lagging

Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.

Bitumen and felt

Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, usually tightly bound.

Afterwards

If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.

Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:

Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
Tell us about any previous survey
Let us know where we can park

What to avoid

Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
