Asbestos removal in Cold Harbour
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 Cold Harbour falls into that category. We often deal with flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and water tanks, and typical jobs are finds during refurbishment and Artex before plastering.

What it might be made of
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
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.
Duty holders and landlords in Cold Harbour
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Limits to be aware of
The usual limits are:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.

Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
