Can asbestos be left in place?
Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.

Other services in Halfway Houses
For landlords, agents and businesses
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.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Materials we deal with
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Why people call us in Halfway Houses
Materials deteriorate with age: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is when removal comes up.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Asbestos garages
- Cement flues and gutters
- Asbestos found during building work
- Artex before plastering
For non-domestic buildings like Halfway Houses Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
