Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
For managing agents and freeholders in Headley, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Afterwards
File the waste paperwork safely: it proves legal disposal.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Let us know where we can park
- File the consignment note

What to avoid
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.

What it might be made of
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
What affects the price in Headley
The cost depends on:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Parking and access charges
- How many samples are needed
- Disposal costs
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Photos that help
Photos often save us a visit:
- Visible markings
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The parking area
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Which option is right?
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Why us?
- Work done to the regulations
- Accredited laboratory results
- Clear written quotes
- Homes, rented property and workplaces

Common questions in Headley
Do you come out to small villages like Headley?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos common in Headley homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Headley can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Headley?
There is no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The removal method depends on the material.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
