Need asbestos removal in Hollow Street?
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Asbestos removal for Hollow Street properties
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, with a consignment note for your records. Typical jobs include outbuildings with cement roofs and finds during refurbishment, involving textured coatings, cement soffits and gutters and downpipes.
In a village like Hollow Street, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Common questions in Hollow Street
Do you cover Hollow Street and the area around Sturry station?
Yes, we cover Hollow Street and the area towards Sturry station, about 3.6 miles south-west.
Do you come out to small villages like Hollow Street?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
