How asbestos removal works in Souldern
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Whether it’s old flues and old waste on site, we cover gutters and downpipes, cement roof sheets and floor tiles.
In Souldern, 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.

Insulating board and lagging

Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with sanders or grinders.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in Souldern were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Souldern
Do you work near Kings Sutton station?
Yes. Kings Sutton station is about 3.4 miles north-west of Souldern, and we cover both.
Do you come out to small villages like Souldern?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can I stay at home during removal?
For outdoor jobs, you can usually stay put. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Souldern?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
The process
At the end, the work area is cleaned with suitable methods and checked. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. Outdoor removal in Souldern is planned to finish in daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:30pm.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- We test the material if needed
- We plan the job and send a written quote
- On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can

Common reasons for removal jobs in Souldern
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Old flues
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Asbestos found during building work
- Old waste on site

DIY and asbestos
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.
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.
