Asbestos removal near Hassell Street
You do not always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll tell you honestly when that is the case. We often deal with textured coatings, water tanks and flue pipes, and typical jobs are old sheds and coal bunkers and cement flues and gutters.
Rural removal near Hassell Street can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. We only recommend work that is needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in Hassell Street were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Hassell Street must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Your options compared
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Why us?
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Covering London and the South East
- No removal until we know what it is
- Domestic and commercial work
See how we price jobs and published price ranges.
What happens next
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, because the plan may need to change.
Once we’re done:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Share any survey or test results
- Tell us about parking and access
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
What to avoid
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Materials we deal with
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.

Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- The parking area
- An idea of size
- Cracks or breaks
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch

Questions from Hassell Street
Is asbestos common in Hassell Street homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Hassell Street from London?
Hassell Street is about 52 miles from central London, well within our area.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.
