Asbestos Disposal Taunton

Licensed asbestos disposal across Taunton, Bishops Hull, Norton Fitzwarren, Wellington, Wiveliscombe and all TA postcodes. Skip hire, RoRo and van collection with transparent pricing and full Duty of Care paperwork.

Asbestos disposal across Taunton and district

Taunton is Somerset’s county town and has a wide mix of pre-2000 property — Victorian terraces through the town centre and Rowbarton, inter-war and post-war housing across Halcon, Priorswood and Galmington, and older cottages and farm buildings throughout the surrounding Vale of Taunton Deane. Rural properties in particular carry a lot of asbestos cement sheeting on barns, workshops and outbuildings. Garage roofs, soffits, flue pipes, Artex ceilings, pipe lagging and old boilers all commonly contain asbestos that needs safe, legal disposal.

The Waste Group provides licensed asbestos disposal across Taunton and the TA postcode range, fulfilled through our accredited national disposal partner. Depending on quantity you can book van collection for small domestic jobs, an asbestos skip for medium jobs, or a RoRo for larger commercial and agricultural clearances.

Do you need asbestos removal or asbestos disposal?

These are two different services and the difference matters:

Asbestos removal means stripping asbestos out of a building. For most asbestos types this must be done by an HSE-licensed removal contractor. We do not provide this service.
Asbestos disposal means taking away asbestos that has already been removed, bagged or wrapped. This is what we do.

If you have loose garage roof sheets, broken ceiling tiles, bags of material from a roofer, or an old boiler flue that has already been taken out — you need disposal. Call us on 01202 247716.

Asbestos skip hire in Taunton

Asbestos skip hire suits medium-sized jobs — tradespeople clearing a domestic project, commercial property owners, farmers stripping an outbuilding roof, or builders on an extension or conversion. Asbestos skips are supplied sealed and compliant with hazardous waste regulations, and collected directly for licensed disposal.

6 yard open asbestos skip — small to medium loads such as a single garage roof strip.
12 yard open asbestos skip — larger domestic clearances or a small commercial job.
16 yard enclosed asbestos skip — fully enclosed, recommended for roadside or commercial sites.

All sizes include 2 tonnes of asbestos waste.

Asbestos RoRo hire in Taunton

Roll-on roll-off containers suit larger asbestos clearances — demolition projects, multi-property landlord clearances, agricultural building strip-outs, and the commercial units around Priorswood and the Taunton trading estates. RoRos need good vehicle access, so they work well on farms and yards.

20 yard open RoRo — medium-to-large loads where an open-top container works on site.
40 yard open RoRo — the largest commercial, agricultural and demolition jobs.
35 yard enclosed RoRo — fully enclosed, required for some site permits.

All RoRo sizes include 3 tonnes of asbestos waste.

Excess tonnage	Per tonne	£410

All prices include VAT. Admin fee and standard terms apply.

Call 01202 247716 for an asbestos RoRo hire quote.

Asbestos van collection for Taunton homeowners

Van collection is the right option for smaller domestic jobs — a couple of garage roof sheets, an old Artex ceiling stash, a removed boiler flue, or a few bags left by a roofer. You package the asbestos to specification, we send a van to your Taunton address, our driver loads it, and you receive your Waste Consignment Note.

How it works

Package the asbestos. Whole sheets (max 6ft × 3ft, up to 25kg each) wrapped in 1000-gauge polythene. Smaller pieces double-bagged in red asbestos bags, max 15kg per bag.
Book the collection. Call 01202 247716 with your item count and postcode. We confirm a collection day, usually within 3 to 5 working days.
Driver collects. Our driver loads the material and issues your Waste Consignment Note on the spot.
Licensed disposal. Transported under ADR regulations to a licensed hazardous waste facility.

Asbestos van collection Taunton — prices

Item	Price (inc VAT)
Transport charge	£353

Per sheet or wrap (20–25 kg)	£22.35
Per door or boiler (30 kg)	£46.10

Typical Taunton van collection costs

Small garage roof — 10 cement sheets wrapped: £353 + (10 × £22.35) + £50 = £626.50 inc VAT
Old boiler flue and 4 bags of Artex rubble: £353 + £46.10 + (4 × £11.05) + £50 = £493.30 inc VAT
Large double garage roof — 20 sheets wrapped: £353 + (20 × £22.35) + £50 = £850 inc VAT

All prices include VAT. If the total load exceeds 1 tonne, a second collection may be required.

How to prepare asbestos safely for collection

Asbestos must be packaged correctly before our driver arrives. This protects you, our driver, and anyone handling the waste at the disposal facility.

Do not break sheets or sand surfaces — keep material intact. Broken edges release fibres.
Wrap whole sheets in 1000-gauge polythene. Standard sheets are 6ft × 3ft, up to 25kg.
Double-bag smaller pieces in red asbestos bags, max 15kg.
Label clearly with asbestos warning markings.
Dampen material lightly to reduce dust. Do not soak it.
Wear proper PPE — disposable coveralls, FFP3 mask, gloves, goggles.
If you are not confident handling it, hire a licensed removal contractor. We will dispose of what they bag.

For detailed guidance see the HSE asbestos essentials guide.

Can a Taunton recycling centre take your asbestos?

Somerset Council accepts small amounts of bonded (cement) asbestos at some of its recycling sites, by booking and usually for a charge. Not every site takes it, so you need to check and book before travelling.

When you will need a licensed collection instead

You have non-bonded asbestos — Artex, pipe lagging, AIB, boiler insulation or floor tiles. Council sites will not take these; we will.
You have more than the per-visit limit — a barn or full garage roof will far exceed it.
Your nearest site doesn’t take asbestos, or you don’t want to transport hazardous waste yourself.
The waste is agricultural or commercial — farm outbuilding sheeting is not household waste and council sites will not accept it. This is the most common reason Taunton customers call us.

Asbestos disposal Taunton — frequently asked questions

How much does asbestos disposal cost in Taunton?

Taunton falls within our Zone 5 pricing area. Van collection starts at £353 transport plus £22.35 per sheet or £11.05 per bag. An asbestos skip (6, 12 or 16 yard) is £2,240 inc VAT including up to 2 tonnes, and a RoRo is £2,650 inc VAT including 3 tonnes. Every job includes the Waste Consignment Note. Call 01202 247716 for a fixed quote.

Can I take asbestos to a Taunton recycling centre?

Somerset Council accepts small amounts of bonded (cement) asbestos at some of its recycling sites, by booking and usually for a charge, within strict quantity limits. Non-bonded types such as Artex, pipe lagging and insulation are not accepted, and neither is agricultural or commercial waste. Because not every site takes it, check and book first.

Can you take asbestos sheeting from a farm building?

Yes. Agricultural asbestos — typically corrugated cement sheeting from barns, workshops and outbuildings — is not household waste, so council recycling centres will not take it. We handle it by skip, RoRo or van collection with full Duty of Care paperwork. For a barn roof a RoRo is usually the most economical option. Call 01202 247716 with rough sheet numbers for a fixed quote.

Can I put asbestos in a regular skip?

No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must never be mixed with general waste. If asbestos is found in a standard skip, the whole load is treated as hazardous and charged at hazardous waste rates. Asbestos must go in a sealed asbestos skip or be collected by van, always with a Waste Consignment Note.

Do I need a licence to dispose of asbestos from my own home?

Householders do not need a waste carrier licence to dispose of asbestos from their own property, but the disposal itself must go through a licensed carrier and be accompanied by a Waste Consignment Note. Our service provides both, so your disposal is fully documented and legal.

How quickly can you collect asbestos in Taunton?

Most van collections in Taunton can be booked within 3 to 5 working days. Skip and RoRo deliveries typically take 2 to 3 working days from booking. Call 01202 247716 to check current availability.
