About our asbestos removal in Woolage Village
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical jobs include broken sheets in gardens and garage roof sheets, involving flue pipes, water tanks and gutters and downpipes.
In Woolage Village, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Where asbestos turns up
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, although sound material can often stay.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Materials found mid-project
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Cement flues and gutters
- Loft water tanks
In older properties in Woolage Village, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.

- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Share any survey or test results
What to avoid
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.

Water tanks and flues

Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.

Woolage Village questions
Do you cover Woolage Village from London?
Woolage Village is about 59 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in Woolage Village homes?
If your home in Woolage Village was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
