Asbestos removal near South Stoke
If your builder has found suspect material in South Stoke, work should stop there and people kept out. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. Common materials are water tanks, gutters and downpipes and floor tiles, and people normally contact us about floor tiles before a new floor and finds during refurbishment.
In a village like South Stoke, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Responsibilities for owners
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
What it might be made of
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
How we work
Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, ready to go to a permitted site. The work area is kept clear while we are working. In winter, the light goes in South Stoke by about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

Common reasons for removal jobs in South Stoke
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Asbestos garages
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Finds during refurbishment
In older properties in South Stoke, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.

Choosing the right option
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
What you get
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Accredited laboratory results
