In Shopwyke, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
Common questions in Shopwyke
Do you cover small places like Shopwyke?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in Shopwyke have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Shopwyke may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
What does removal cost?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. Every job gets a written quote.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Cement and textured coatings are generally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
After we have finished in Shopwyke
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it proves legal disposal.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Book the replacement before removal
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Share any survey or test results
Don’ts
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
