Our asbestos removal in CV35
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. People often contact us about flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and cement water tanks in lofts, involving floor tiles, textured coatings and cement roof sheets.
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
- On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
- We clean up, dispose of the waste legally and send the consignment note
What you will pay
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Why us?
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Records for your files
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Clear written quotes

Removing asbestos in CV35
Common removal jobs in CV35 include roofs, coatings, tiles, flues and tanks, from the bigger towns to the smallest villages.
Edgehill: In older buildings across Edgehill, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal. Late-December sunset in Edgehill is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
What we deal with in CV35
Damage from DIY, storms or accidents can make removal necessary, especially if broken material is lying around.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Old flues
- Materials found mid-project
Materials, one by one

A Gas Safe engineer disconnects any gas appliance first.
What happens next
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it in advance.
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Book the replacement before removal
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Good to know
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
CV35 questions
What happens to the waste?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note as your record.
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 typically needed.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do I need to move out?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
