About asbestos removal in BN88
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, and you get the waste paperwork. Typical jobs include old floor tiles and black adhesive and loft water tanks, including textured coatings, floor tiles and flue pipes.
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, and keep the material wet as we work.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- We test the material if needed
- We plan the job and send a written quote
- We remove the material with controls to keep fibres down
- The area is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with paperwork
Cost
Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.

Where we work in BN88
Across BN88, we remove asbestos cement, textured coatings, tiles, flues and tanks, in Prestonville and Preston and the 0 villages and hamlets around them.
Prestonville: Older buildings in Prestonville, near St Luke's Church Prestonville or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal. On busy roads like the A23, loading the waste needs planning, so mention it, as main roads can be restricted. Outdoor removal in Prestonville is planned to finish in daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:20pm.
Why people call us in BN88
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Cement flues and gutters
- Debris left from a previous job
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Artex ceilings before renovation
Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Looking after things afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Before booking, note that:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
Common questions in BN88
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
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.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Not always. Cement and textured coatings are typically non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
