Asbestos removal for Shorne
How asbestos removal works in Shorne
If your builder has found suspect material in Shorne, work should stop there and people kept out. We’ll identify it and plan what happens next. We often deal with water tanks, textured coatings and flue pipes, and people typically contact us about flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and old cold water tanks.
In places like Shorne, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

How it works
Once removal is finished, we clean and check the area, and we talk you through what was done. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions. In winter, the light goes in Shorne by about 3:50pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
- Share photos, the postcode and any survey or test you have
- We confirm what the material is and what category of work it falls into
- We quote in writing, including the waste
- On the agreed date we set up the work area and remove the material carefully
- We clean the area and send the consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Move things out of the way carefully

Materials we deal with
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, which is typically well bound.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
For managing agents and freeholders in Shorne, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Looking after things afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is normally a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Share any survey or test results
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Avoid these
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Which option is right?
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.

If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.

Do you cover small places like Shorne?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that won’t be disturbed can be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
