Helpful guides
Common questions in Bierley
Is asbestos common in Bierley homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Bierley can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Bierley?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Bierley?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Weighing up your options
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and disposal still has to be done properly. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
What you get
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Records for your files

What else we do in Bierley
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
For businesses and landlords in Bierley
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
