How asbestos removal works in Aldborough Hatch

If your builder has found suspect material in Aldborough Hatch, stop work in that area and keep people away. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. People often contact us about outbuildings with cement roofs and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes, involving gutters and downpipes, flue pipes and floor tiles.

Questions from Aldborough Hatch

Do you cover Aldborough Hatch and the area around Goodmayes station?

Yes, we cover Aldborough Hatch and the area towards Goodmayes station, about 1.2 miles south-east.

Could my house in Aldborough Hatch contain asbestos?

Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.

Do you test before removing asbestos in Aldborough Hatch?

Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.

Is asbestos removal licensed?

Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.

How much does asbestos removal cost in Aldborough Hatch?

It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.

Does all asbestos have to be removed?

It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.

How do I know if my property contains asbestos?

You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.

What affects the price in Aldborough Hatch

The cost depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • How much there is
  • Disposal costs
  • The survey scope

We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

What happens next

Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, because the plan may need to change.

Looking after any asbestos that remains:

  • Share any survey or test results
  • Plan any replacement work before the removal date
  • Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
  • Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone

What to avoid

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; keep people away and ask for advice.

Limits to be aware of

Some limits to bear in mind:

  • Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
  • Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
  • Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning

If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.

Choosing an asbestos contractor

Responsibilities for owners

Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

  • Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
  • Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
  • Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
  • Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
