How asbestos removal works in Wivelrod
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. People often contact us about garage roof sheets and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles, including flue pipes, water tanks and floor tiles.
In places like Wivelrod, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Wivelrod questions
Is asbestos common in Wivelrod homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Wivelrod?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Wivelrod?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. Every job gets a written quote.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Which option is right?
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.

How it works
Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first. We plan outdoor jobs in Wivelrod to finish before dark: in late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:25pm.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We confirm what the material is and what category of work it falls into
- A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can
- We clean the area and send the consignment note
Before we arrive
- Let us know where we can park
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them

For businesses and landlords in Wivelrod
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
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.
DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
