Your questions about asbestos removal in Somerton
Do you cover Somerton from London?
Somerton is about 60 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in Somerton homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Somerton?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can you help with a shop or office?
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.
Looking after things afterwards
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, because the plan may need to change.
To avoid problems in future:
- File the consignment note
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Don’ts
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

We base our quote on:
- Location, parking and any London charges

Common reasons for removal jobs in Somerton
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
In older properties, we often see:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Asbestos found during building work
- Garage roof sheets
- Old waste on site
For rentals close to Heyford station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.

- The scope of the job, in writing
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
For businesses and landlords in Somerton
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
