Materials we deal with
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Your options compared
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
What you get
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations

Responsibilities for owners
If your business premises in Abinger Hammer were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
What it costs
Every quote reflects:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- How much there is
- How many samples are needed
- How easy it is to reach
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Photos that help

Your questions about asbestos removal in Abinger Hammer
Could my house in Abinger Hammer contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Abinger Hammer may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Abinger Hammer?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are normally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
