Asbestos removal in Wormshill
Removal isn’t always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll say so. Typical materials include water tanks, floor tiles and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and asbestos found during building work.
In a village like Wormshill, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Can you quote from photos?

How quickly can you come out?

Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
The scope of asbestos removal

- Making good is normally a separate job

After the job
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Let us know where we can park
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
What to avoid
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Wormshill, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Choosing the right option
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
