How asbestos removal works in Telscombe
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. Typical jobs include outbuildings with cement roofs and cement water tanks in lofts, involving cement roof sheets, flue pipes and floor tiles.
In a smaller place like Telscombe, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, reached through gardens and drives. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Telscombe: your questions answered
Do you cover Telscombe from London?
Telscombe is about 48 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in Telscombe homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Telscombe may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note as your record.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Asbestos waste cannot 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.
What happens
Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there is no confusion. Late-December sunset in Telscombe is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
