Asbestos removal in Boreham Street
Asbestos removal in Boreham Street
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Common materials are cement soffits, cement roof sheets and water tanks, and typical jobs are cement flues and gutters and old sheds and coal bunkers.
In a village like Boreham Street, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

What it costs
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Boreham Street, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Boreham Street: your questions answered
How far is Boreham Street from London?
We cover Boreham Street, about 47 miles from central London.
Do you cover Boreham Street and the area around Normans Bay station?
Yes. Normans Bay station is about 3.7 miles south of Boreham Street, and we cover both.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Boreham Street?
There is no fixed price: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.

Limits to be aware of
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it does not:

- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning

DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Looking after things afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is generally a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
A few practical points:
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Book the replacement before removal
- Tell us about parking and access
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Things not to do
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
What it might be made of
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.
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
