The scope of asbestos removal
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Garage and shed roofs
- Bitumen roof felt
- Artex and textured coatings
- Panels and boards
- Soffits (cement)
- Water tanks
- Gutters and downpipes
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Flue pipes
Where asbestos turns up
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Artex before plastering
- Finds during refurbishment
- Old waste on site
In older buildings across South Weston, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.

Which option is right?
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Why us?
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Records for your files
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Homes, rented property and workplaces

Materials we deal with
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
Your questions about asbestos removal in South Weston
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Could my house in South Weston contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
What happens to the waste?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site, and you receive the consignment note.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.

After we’ve finished in South Weston

Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Share any survey or test results
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Things not to do
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
