Afterwards
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
Some practical advice:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date

Avoid these
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.

FAQs for Upper Arncott
Do you cover small places like Upper Arncott?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Upper Arncott homes?
Any home in Upper Arncott built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
