Helpful guides
Asbestos removal in Henhurst
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical materials include water tanks, textured coatings and floor tiles, and typical jobs are floor tiles before a new floor and old sheds and coal bunkers.
In a village like Henhurst, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We only recommend work that is needed.

What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, usually tightly bound.
What we deal with in Henhurst
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, although sound material can often stay.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Old waste on site
- Artex before plastering
- Garage roof sheets
In older properties in Henhurst, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Common questions in Henhurst
Do you cover small places like Henhurst?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Henhurst from London?
Henhurst is about 22 miles from central London, well within our area.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
How can I get a price?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
What does removal cost?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. We quote each job individually.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
What’s included, and what isn’t
What’s in and what’s out:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Flue pipes
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Gutters and downpipes
- Bitumen roof felt
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks
- Soffits (cement)
- Garage and shed roofs
- Panels and boards

What affects the price in Henhurst
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- Travel and parking
- The type of material and its condition
- The survey scope
- The size of the job
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
What to photograph
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- An idea of size
- Cracks or breaks
- A wide shot showing where the material is
Unsure whether you need a test, a survey or removal? Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749, and we’ll advise.
Afterwards
File the waste paperwork safely: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
Keeping things safe:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Tell us about parking and access
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
Don’ts
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.

Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
- 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
