Asbestos removal near Berghers Hill
Higher-risk materials such as pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We will tell you if your job in Berghers Hill falls into that category. Common materials are water tanks, gutters and downpipes and floor tiles, and typical jobs are asbestos garages and old sheds and coal bunkers.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
For managing agents and freeholders in Berghers Hill, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Berghers Hill, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
Weighing up your options
Remove, or leave and manage? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Why people choose us
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Accredited laboratory results
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone

Berghers Hill: your questions answered
Do you cover Berghers Hill and the area around Bourne End station?
Yes. Bourne End station is about 1.5 miles west of Berghers Hill, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Berghers Hill homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Berghers Hill can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
What does removal cost?
There’s no fixed price: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
The process
Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there is no confusion. We plan outdoor jobs in Berghers Hill to finish before dark: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:25pm.
