- Cement flues and gutters

Common questions in Hipley
Could my house in Hipley contain asbestos?
Any home in Hipley built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Hipley from London?
Hipley is about 61 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
Where does the asbestos go?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site, with a consignment note as your record.
What does removal cost?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. We quote each job individually.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, generally tightly bound.
