Duty holders and landlords in Leadingcross Green
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- Material and condition
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The size of the job
- Location, parking and any London charges
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Sending photos
What to photograph:
- Street parking nearby
- How we’d reach it
- Cracks or breaks
- Labels, if any
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.
What we deal with in Leadingcross Green

- Garage conversions
- Double garages
- Garages being knocked down
- Broken sheets after high winds
