Asbestos removal for Upper Farringdon
About our asbestos removal in Upper Farringdon
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical materials include cement soffits, water tanks and gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are floor tiles before a new floor and asbestos garages.
In a village like Upper Farringdon, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Upper Farringdon: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Upper Farringdon homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Upper Farringdon?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
What happens to the waste?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you cover Upper Farringdon?
Yes, Upper Farringdon is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Afterwards
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
Going forward:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Book the replacement before removal
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Avoid these
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
