Asbestos removal for Thornborough properties
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. Common materials are cement soffits, textured coatings and gutters and downpipes, and people normally contact us about old floor tiles and black adhesive and Artex before plastering.
In Thornborough, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Weighing up your options
Remove, or leave and manage? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why us?
- Work done to the regulations

Common questions in Thornborough
Do you cover small places like Thornborough?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Thornborough contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Thornborough may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
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 you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.

Helpful guides
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

More for properties in Thornborough
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Thornborough must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Where asbestos turns up
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Materials found mid-project
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Debris left from a previous job
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
At a school such as Thornborough Infant School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- What paperwork you get
- Whether the job needs notifying
- The scope of the job, in writing
Afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, for anyone working there later.
To avoid problems in future:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Send photos of the material and the access
Don’ts
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
