Typical removal jobs in South Leigh
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Cement water tanks in lofts
In older buildings across South Leigh, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- What paperwork you get
- Any exclusions
For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.

- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling

- The number of samples or the size of the building

Your options compared
Should it come out? 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 in the way of work, removal is generally right. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Questions from South Leigh
Do you cover South Leigh and the area around Hanborough station?
Yes, we cover South Leigh and the area towards Hanborough station, about 4.1 miles north-east.
Do older homes in South Leigh have asbestos?
Any home in South Leigh built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What happens to the waste?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note as your record.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Afterwards
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, as the method may need to change.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Let us know where we can park
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
Things not to do
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
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.
