Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
How asbestos removal works in Sibford Gower
Every removal job in Sibford Gower is planned first: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed. People often contact us about debris left from a previous job and asbestos garages, involving water tanks, gutters and downpipes and cement roof sheets.
In Sibford Gower, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

FAQs for Sibford Gower
Is asbestos common in Sibford Gower homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Sibford Gower from London?
We cover Sibford Gower, about 70 miles from central London.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Sibford Gower?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, generally tightly bound.
Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
Materials we see
- Artex and textured coatings
- Flue pipes
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Bitumen roof felt
- Water tanks
- Gutters and downpipes
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Panels and boards
- Soffits (cement)
- Garage and shed roofs
After the job
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is typically a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
To avoid problems in future:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Book the replacement before removal
- Tell us about parking and access
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
Avoid these
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
The process
We unfix materials and take them out in whole pieces where we can, without breaking, dropping or power tools. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening. In winter, the light goes in Sibford Gower by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Get in touch with the details of the job
- We check whether it’s licensed, notifiable or non-licensed work
- We agree a date and any notification needed
- On the day we set up, remove and bag the material
- The waste goes to a permitted site with a consignment note
How to prepare
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
