FAQs for Hinxhill
Do you cover Hinxhill from London?
We cover Hinxhill, about 51 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Hinxhill homes?
If your home in Hinxhill was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.

- The number of samples or the size of the building

DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
Keeping things safe:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- File the consignment note
- Share any survey or test results
- Book the replacement before removal
Avoid these
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Good to know
Before booking, note that:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
