About our asbestos removal in The Hummicks
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is generally non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, which still means proper controls. Typical materials include textured coatings, floor tiles and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are cement water tanks in lofts and garage roof sheets.
In areas like The Hummicks, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, normally tightly bound.
Which option is right?
Should it come out? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is typically right. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

The Hummicks: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in The Hummicks homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like The Hummicks?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can I stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
How do I get a quote?
