Asbestos removal in Hillborough
Asbestos removal in Hillborough
Removal isn’t always the answer. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll say so. Typical materials include gutters and downpipes, cement roof sheets and textured coatings, and people usually contact us about outbuildings with cement roofs and Artex ceilings before renovation.
In a smaller place like Hillborough, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, with access through the garden or drive. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

For businesses and landlords in Hillborough
If you manage or own a block in Hillborough, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Typical removal jobs in Hillborough
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Old waste on site
- Asbestos found during building work
- Floor tiles before a new floor
If you’re on or near the A299, tell us about parking and loading.

- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- The scope of the job, in writing
Which option is right?
