Asbestos removal in Benham Hill
In homes, in Benham Hill as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. Work on these is usually non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. From garage roofs and whole garages and debris left from a previous job, we deal with cement soffits, water tanks and textured coatings and more.
Properties in areas like Benham Hill with larger plots may have several outbuildings with cement roofs, which can often be dealt with together. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Common questions in Benham Hill
Do older homes in Benham Hill have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Benham Hill from London?
We cover Benham Hill, about 52 miles from central London.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
For businesses and landlords in Benham Hill
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Benham Hill, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
If you run a business from older premises in Benham Hill, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.

Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
The process
At the end, the work area is cleaned with suitable methods and checked. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. Outdoor removal in Benham Hill is planned to finish in daylight: that means by about 4:00pm in December, or about 9:25pm in June.
