Asbestos removal near Hartwell
Doing it yourself?
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.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Asbestos removal for Hartwell properties
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, and you get the waste paperwork. Whether it’s Artex ceilings before renovation and outbuildings with cement roofs, we deal with cement roof sheets, gutters and downpipes and textured coatings and more.
In places like Hartwell, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
What we do and do not cover
The usual limits are:
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

- Bitumen roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Water tanks
- Soffits (cement)
- Floor tiles and adhesive

Hartwell: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Hartwell homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Hartwell can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Hartwell?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
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.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Choosing the right option
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. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.

How we price asbestos removal
Prices vary with:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The type of material and its condition
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- How many samples are needed
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
Photos that help
A few photos can save a site visit:
- The access route
- A rough size or measurement
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Visible markings
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
