Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Henwood
Old materials break down over time: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Old waste on site
- Asbestos garages
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
In older properties in Henwood, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.
What your quote should include
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Which areas and materials are covered
Choosing the right option
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, rather than halting work when it’s found. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
What you get
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Across London and the South East
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
See how we price jobs or the cost guide.
After the job
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is usually a separate job, so plan it in advance.
Going forward:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- File the consignment note
- Share any survey or test results
Things not to do
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If your business premises in Henwood were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
What it might be made of
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Henwood
Do older homes in Henwood have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Henwood can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Henwood from London?
Henwood is about 55 miles from central London, well within our area.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
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.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that won’t be disturbed can be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
