Looking after things afterwards
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- File the consignment note
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Photos of the material and the route in help
Don’ts
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
About our asbestos removal in Hanover
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 textured coatings, floor tiles and flue pipes, and people typically contact us about old sheds and coal bunkers and old cold water tanks.
Homes in Hanover with bigger gardens can have more than one cement-roofed building, which can often be dealt with together. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

What else we do in Hanover
Options to consider in Hanover
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is normally right. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What you get
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Work done to the regulations
See our prices page or the cost guide.
What we deal with in Hanover
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Cement flues and gutters
Older buildings in Hanover, near Church of the Annunciation or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
What it might be made of
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Hanover
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover Hanover from London?
We cover Hanover, about 46 miles from central London.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
