Asbestos removal near Henley Street
Asbestos removal for Henley Street properties
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical jobs include garage roof sheets and cement flues and gutters, including gutters and downpipes, cement roof sheets and water tanks.
Rural removal near Henley Street can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Common questions in Henley Street
Do you work near Sole Street station?
Yes, we cover Henley Street and the area towards Sole Street station, about 0.8 miles north-west.
Do you come out to small villages like Henley Street?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
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 usually needed.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What it costs
What changes the cost:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The size of the job
- The type of material and its condition
- Disposal costs
Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Duty holders and landlords in Henley Street
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.
Materials, one by one
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Henley Street
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Loft water tanks
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Garage roof sheets
At a school such as Cobham Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
