About our asbestos removal in Hill Grove
You do not always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll tell you honestly when that is the case. People often contact us about cement flues and gutters and garage roofs and whole garages, including water tanks, cement soffits and flue pipes.
In a village like Hill Grove, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. We only recommend work that is needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
What affects the price in Hill Grove

Common questions in Hill Grove
Do you cover Hill Grove from London?
Hill Grove is about 61 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Hill Grove have asbestos?
If your home in Hill Grove was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do I need to move out?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
What we deal with in Hill Grove
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Loft water tanks
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Materials found mid-project
In a school like Swanmore Church of England Aided Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
Before booking anyone
- Suitable insurance for the work
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
Which option is right?
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Why people choose us
- Clear written quotes
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
See our prices page or our cost guide.
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
After we have finished in Hill Grove
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Share any survey or test results
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Book the replacement before removal
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
Avoid these
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
