Asbestos removal in Wilmington
You don’t always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will tell you honestly when that is the case. From cement flues and gutters and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles, we deal with floor tiles, cement soffits and flue pipes.
Rural removal near Wilmington can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If your business premises in Wilmington were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
After we’ve finished in Wilmington
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is normally a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Let us know where we can park
Avoid these
Don’t 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.
Good to know
The usual limits are:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Making good is normally a separate job
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.

Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

Common questions in Wilmington
Could my house in Wilmington contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you come out to small villages like Wilmington?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
What happens to the waste?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
