About our asbestos removal in St Michaels
Removal is planned, not improvised: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed. Typical materials include gutters and downpipes, textured coatings and cement soffits, and people generally contact us about old cold water tanks and cement flues and gutters.
In St Michaels, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in St Michaels must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

What else we do in St Michaels
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Where asbestos turns up
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
In older properties, we often see:
- Old waste on site
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Artex ceilings before renovation
At a school such as St Michael's Church of England Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
Before you book anyone
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- What is not included
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- How fibres will be kept down
Step by step
At the end, the work area is cleaned with suitable methods and checked. It helps if we can park nearby. Outdoor removal in St Michaels is planned to finish in daylight: that means by about 3:50pm in December, or about 9:15pm in June.

- The size of the job
- Waste quantity and disposal

Photos that help
To help us quote quickly, send:
- An idea of size
- Where we could park
- An overall view
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely

Common questions in St Michaels
How far is St Michaels from London?
St Michaels is about 45 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover small places like St Michaels?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
What happens next
File the waste paperwork safely: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
To avoid problems in future:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Tell us about parking and access
- Send photos of the material and the access
Avoid these
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Limits to be aware of
Before you book, note that:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Flue pipes
- Bitumen roof felt
- Panels and boards
- Soffits (cement)
- Gutters and downpipes
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Water tanks
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs

Materials we deal with
Textured coatings

Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
