Asbestos removal in Soake
In homes, in Soake as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. Common materials are textured coatings, floor tiles and gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are asbestos found during building work and cement flues and gutters.
In Soake, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

We remove them without cutting with power tools.

What else we do in Soake
Responsibilities for owners
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Soake questions
Do you cover Soake from London?
Soake is about 59 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you come out to small villages like Soake?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Your options compared
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
