Asbestos removal for Hawkenbury properties
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. We often deal with flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and water tanks, and people typically contact us about sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and garage roofs and whole garages.
In a village like Hawkenbury, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Do you cover Hawkenbury?

How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
What happens to the waste?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note as your record.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Options to consider in Hawkenbury
Licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed? The material and the job decide. Our guide explains the difference, with links to HSE’s pages. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Materials we deal with
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
After the job
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, as the method may need to change.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Avoid these
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What happens
Unexpected materials mean we pause and discuss, before changing the plan. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first. Late-December sunset in Hawkenbury is about 3:50pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

What else we do in Hawkenbury
Landlords, managing agents and employers
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.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
What we deal with in Hawkenbury
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
Typical jobs in Hawkenbury include:
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Materials found mid-project
