Asbestos removal for Vernham Dean
Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Asbestos removal in Vernham 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. Common materials are floor tiles, water tanks and cement roof sheets, and people typically contact us about old floor tiles and black adhesive and old sheds and coal bunkers.
In places like Vernham Dean, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

What we deal with in Vernham Dean
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
These come up again and again:
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Cement flues and gutters
- Artex ceilings before renovation
At a school such as Vernham Dean Gillum's Church of England Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
Questions to ask before booking

Questions from Vernham Dean
Do older homes in Vernham Dean have asbestos?
If your home in Vernham Dean was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Vernham Dean from London?
We cover Vernham Dean, about 62 miles from central London.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Good to know
Some limits to bear in mind:
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Making good is normally a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Gutters and downpipes
- Water tanks
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits (cement)
- Artex and textured coatings
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Panels and boards
- Flue pipes
- Garage and shed roofs
- Bitumen roof felt
Looking after things afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, so future trades know about it.
Keeping things safe:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Share any survey or test results
- Photos of the material and the route in help
Avoid these
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Which option is right?
Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. Our quotes are clear about VAT.

Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
