Common reasons for removal jobs in Westcott Barton
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
These are some of the things we deal with in Westcott Barton:
- Asbestos found during building work
- Old cold water tanks
- Asbestos garages
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
At a school such as Middle Barton Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- How fibres will be kept down
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
Looking after things afterwards
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
What to avoid
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.

Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
