In Hell Corner, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

FAQs for Hell Corner
Is asbestos common in Hell Corner homes?
Any home in Hell Corner built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Hell Corner from London?
We cover Hell Corner, about 59 miles from central London.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you work on commercial premises?
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.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.

Weighing up your options
Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.

Materials we deal with
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, normally tightly bound.
What happens next
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it proves legal disposal.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Share any survey or test results
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Avoid these
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
What’s included, and what isn’t
To be clear about the scope:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
What we deal with
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Bitumen roof felt
- Garage and shed roofs
- Gutters and downpipes
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Panels and boards
- Water tanks
- Flue pipes
- Soffits (cement)
For businesses and landlords in Hell Corner
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
