Asbestos removal in Abinger
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. Typical jobs include loft water tanks and garage roofs and whole garages, involving flue pipes, water tanks and gutters and downpipes.
In areas like Abinger, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Duty holders and landlords in Abinger
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Which option is right?
Licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed? It depends on what the material is and what’s being done. Our guide explains the difference, with links to HSE’s pages. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Things not to do
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Common questions in Abinger
Do older homes in Abinger have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Abinger from London?
Abinger is about 24 miles from central London, well within our area.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can typically stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are typically non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
A closer look at the materials
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
How it works
Once removal is finished, we clean and check the area. We begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing. Outdoor removal in Abinger is planned to finish in daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:20pm.
