How asbestos removal works in Upper North Dean
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. From cement water tanks in lofts and old flues, we cover cement soffits, water tanks and flue pipes and more.
Rural removal near Upper North Dean can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Typical removal jobs in Upper North Dean
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garage roof sheets
- Finds during refurbishment
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Artex before plastering
For non-domestic buildings like Speen CofE VA School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

Prices and what affects them
What changes the cost:
- What the material is and its state
- Disposal costs
- The quantity or area
- How easy it is to reach
The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Helping us quote
A few photos can save a site visit:
- The parking area
- Cracks or breaks
- Visible markings
- How we’d reach it
Photos from a safe distance help: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
What happens next
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Don’ts
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Duty holders and landlords in Upper North Dean
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Upper North Dean, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
