Asbestos removal near Winford
You do not always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll tell you honestly when that is the case. Typical materials include water tanks, floor tiles and cement soffits, and typical jobs are sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and loft water tanks.
In a village like Winford, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
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.
Where asbestos turns up
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.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Debris left from a previous job
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
For non-domestic buildings like Newchurch Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

Winford: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Winford?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Winford contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
What does removal cost?
There’s no fixed price: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Weighing up your options
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is normally right. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
What you get
- Work done to the regulations
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Domestic and commercial work
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory

For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
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.
- 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
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
