How asbestos removal works in Ballinger Common
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. Whether it’s cement water tanks in lofts and debris left from a previous job, we deal with textured coatings, flue pipes and cement roof sheets and more.
In Ballinger Common, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Ballinger Common: your questions answered
Do you cover Ballinger Common from London?
Ballinger Common is about 29 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can I stay at home during removal?
For outdoor jobs, you can generally stay put. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
What happens to the waste?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
What we deal with in Ballinger Common
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, although sound material can often stay.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Debris left from a previous job
- Asbestos found during building work
For non-domestic buildings like Lee Common Church of England School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
