About our asbestos removal in Swingfield Minnis

Typical materials include cement roof sheets, flue pipes and floor tiles, and typical jobs are garage roof sheets and textured coatings.
In Swingfield Minnis, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Choosing the right option
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Why people choose us
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Work done to the regulations
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
See how we quote and our cost guide.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
After the job
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, as the method may need to change.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Tell us about parking and access
- File the consignment note
Things not to do
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
The scope of asbestos removal
What’s in and what’s out:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Swingfield Minnis questions
How far is Swingfield Minnis from London?
Swingfield Minnis is about 60 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Swingfield Minnis and the area around Shepherds Well station?
Yes. Shepherds Well station is about 4.1 miles north-east of Swingfield Minnis, and we cover both.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs do not usually affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are usually non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
