Asbestos removal for Blindley Heath
Asbestos removal in Blindley Heath
Removal isn’t always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will say so. We often deal with textured coatings, water tanks and flue pipes, and typical jobs are Artex before plastering and loft water tanks.
Rural removal near Blindley Heath can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
What happens next
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is typically a separate job, so plan it in advance.
A few practical points:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Share any survey or test results
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
What to avoid
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
For landlords, agents and businesses
For managing agents and freeholders in Blindley Heath, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Blindley Heath
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Debris left from a previous job
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Old flues
In older buildings across Blindley Heath, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.
What your quote should include
- Whether the job needs notifying
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed

We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How far is Blindley Heath from London?
Blindley Heath is about 21 miles from central London, well within our area.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. 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.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
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.
