East Hanney questions
Do you cover small places like East Hanney?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover East Hanney from London?
East Hanney is about 57 miles from central London, well within our area.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Asbestos removal in East Hanney
Found asbestos during building work in East Hanney? Stop work in that area and keep people away. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. Common materials are cement soffits, gutters and downpipes and floor tiles, and typical jobs are garage roof sheets and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes.
In a village like East Hanney, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Can I do it myself?
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.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
What it costs
What drives the price:
- The size of the job
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Access to the area
When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- How we’d reach it
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Visible markings
Share the postcode, a short description and photos: send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749, and we will reply with a quote.
Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Which option is right?
Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. Our quotes are clear about VAT.

What’s included, and what is not
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let 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.

Where asbestos turns up
Sometimes damage forces the issue.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Old cold water tanks
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Old flues
In older properties in East Hanney, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.
