Duty holders and landlords in Hawridge
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.

Asbestos removal near Hawridge
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Typical jobs include garage roofs and whole garages and debris left from a previous job, including textured coatings, floor tiles and cement roof sheets.
In a village like Hawridge, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Questions from Hawridge
Could my house in Hawridge contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Hawridge and the area around Berkhamsted station?
Yes, we cover Hawridge and the area towards Berkhamsted station, about 3.2 miles east.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings generally aren’t licensed.
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.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
- 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
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
