Asbestos removal for Shenington
Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Asbestos removal near Shenington
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. From cement flues and gutters and broken sheets in gardens, we cover flue pipes, cement soffits and textured coatings.
In Shenington, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

What we deal with in Shenington
Damage from DIY, storms or accidents can make removal necessary, especially if broken material is lying around.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Asbestos found during building work
- Asbestos garages
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
In older buildings across Shenington, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.
Questions to ask before booking
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Whether the job needs notifying
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- Any exclusions
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you run a business from older premises in Shenington, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Shenington
Do you cover small places like Shenington?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos common in Shenington homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Shenington can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
