Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.

What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
What happens to the waste?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Asbestos removal near Sherborne St John
Removal is not always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will tell you honestly when that is the case. We often deal with gutters and downpipes, flue pipes and cement roof sheets, and people normally contact us about loft water tanks and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes.
In towns and villages like Sherborne St John, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Where asbestos turns up
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
In older properties, we often see:
- Asbestos found during building work
- Old cold water tanks
- Textured coatings
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
For non-domestic buildings like Sherborne St John Church of England Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
