Asbestos removal in Tidmarsh

About our asbestos removal in Tidmarsh
In homes, in Tidmarsh as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. Common materials are flue pipes, cement roof sheets and cement soffits, and typical jobs are cement water tanks in lofts and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes.
In places like Tidmarsh, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Tidmarsh questions
Do you work on properties in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do older homes in Tidmarsh have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Tidmarsh can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally aren’t licensed.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.

DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Which option is right?
Should it come out? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
