About our asbestos removal in Sole Street
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. People often contact us about Artex ceilings before renovation and asbestos garages, involving gutters and downpipes, textured coatings and cement soffits.
In a village like Sole Street, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.

Sole Street questions
Do you cover Sole Street and the area around Sole Street station?
Yes. Sole Street station is close to the centre of Sole Street, and we cover the whole area.
Do you come out to small villages like Sole Street?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
Typical removal jobs in Sole Street
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
