Asbestos removal in Shipton Green
Asbestos removal for Shipton Green properties
You don’t always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will say so. From outbuildings with cement roofs and Artex before plastering, we deal with gutters and downpipes, cement roof sheets and flue pipes.
Rural removal near Shipton Green can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
What we do and do not cover
Before booking, note that:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is normally separate

FAQs for Shipton Green
Do you cover Shipton Green from London?
We cover Shipton Green, about 59 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Shipton Green homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Shipton Green may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
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.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
How do I get a quote?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Why people call us in Shipton Green
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
In older properties, we often see:
- Materials found mid-project
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Old cold water tanks
In older buildings across Shipton Green, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Questions to ask before you book
- What category of work it is
- VAT, clearly stated
