Your questions about asbestos removal in Holmwood Corner
Do you come out to small villages like Holmwood Corner?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Holmwood Corner from London?
Holmwood Corner is about 24 miles from central London, well within our area.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What happens to the waste?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note as your record.
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.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Materials we deal with
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Weighing up your options
Licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed? It depends on what the material is and what’s being done. See our guide to the three categories. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why choose us
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Accredited laboratory results
- Clear advice on your options
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
See how we quote and our cost guide.
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Looking after things afterwards
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Book the replacement before removal
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
