With decades of experience working across Wiltshire, the South West and the wider UK, we’ve become a trusted choice for asbestos surveys and removal on demolition and refurbishment projects of all sizes.

Whether you’re managing a large commercial facility or an occupied domestic property, our expert team can carry out full asbestos surveys and safe removal to ensure your building is compliant and your site is ready for the next phase of work.

Why asbestos removal matters

Asbestos was commonly used in construction materials until 1999, which means any building constructed or refurbished before 2000 could contain it. Inhaling or swallowing asbestos fibres can lead to serious health conditions, including long-term lung damage and several types of cancer.

 UK law requires the removal of all asbestos-containing materials before any demolition or major refurbishment can take place. At David Horton Contractors, we take that responsibility seriously and ensure all our work meets the standards set by the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Our asbestos removal process

We offer a complete service, from survey to safe disposal, designed to protect the health of everyone on-site and minimise disruption to your project or daily operations.

1. Comprehensive asbestos surveys

Before any work begins, we carry out a full survey to identify and locate asbestos materials within the building. Our trained team has extensive experience surveying:

  • Roof sheets and tiles
  • Ceilings and flooring
  • Fire doors
  • Cement-based products

We work on a wide variety of buildings, including industrial warehouses, office blocks, and private homes. We can even carry out safe removals while a property remains occupied, using best practices to protect occupants and surrounding areas.

2. Safe and compliant removal

Our operatives are trained asbestos removal specialists who work with care, efficiency and professionalism. Every job is handled in strict accordance with health and safety regulations, ensuring no unnecessary risk to site staff, occupants or the public.

3. Responsible disposal

We partner with licensed waste disposal facilities to ensure that all asbestos waste is handled responsibly and disposed of according to environmental legislation. You can trust us to manage every step of the process with the utmost care.

We are equipped to remove all types of non-licensed and notifiable non-licensed asbestos materials, including:

  • Corrugated roof sheets
  • Asbestos ceiling and wall panels
  • Asbestos-insulated doors (e.g. fire doors)
  • Cement pipes and flues
  • Floor tiles and backing

If you’re unsure whether your building contains asbestos, get in touch to book a survey.
