About our asbestos removal in Troy Town
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. Whether it’s asbestos garages and old floor tiles and black adhesive, we deal with water tanks, cement soffits and cement roof sheets.
In areas like Troy Town, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
What happens to the waste?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.

Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.

We wear disposable coveralls and suitable respirators, and keep everyone else out of the work area. It helps if we can park nearby. Late-December sunset in Troy Town is about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
