Asbestos removal in Shillinglee
Asbestos removal in Shillinglee covers homes, rental property and workplaces: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Every job is planned to HSE guidance, with the waste taken to a permitted site. People often contact us about flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and broken sheets in gardens, involving floor tiles, cement soffits and textured coatings.
In a village like Shillinglee, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Where asbestos turns up
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Materials found mid-project
- Artex before plastering
For rentals close to Witley station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.

- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work

For businesses and landlords in Shillinglee
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Shillinglee must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.

Your options compared
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
